Haggai 1

Haggai 1:10
Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew and the earth has withheld its produce.
The people had been getting by, but life had been tough.  However, they were making it, and they were satisfied with that.  However, God wasn't.

He was unhappy that the people had left the Temple to rot, while they had built themselves decent houses.  Therefore, He had decided to get their attention by the best way they would understand:  deprivation.  He decided to cause a drought to motivate them to complete the work He had told them to do.
