Today's Scripture *April 23, 2009*
Malachi 4:6
His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers. Otherwise I will come and strike the land with a curse.”
Malachi gives us practical guidelines about commitment to God: God deserves the best we have to offer (1: 7-10).
We must be willing to change our wrong ways of living (2: 1-2).
We should be sensitive to God's refining process in our life (3:3).
We should tithe our income (3: 8-12). There is no room for pride (3: 13-15).
Malachi closes his messages by pointing to that great final day of judgement. For those who are committed to God, judgement day will be a day of joy because it will usher in eternity in God's presence. Those who have ignored God will be "straw", to be burned up (4:1). To help His people prepare for that day of judgment, God would send a prophet like Elijah (John the Baptist), who would prepare the way for Jesus, the Messiah. The New Testament begins with this prophet calling the people to turn from their sins and turn to God. Such a commitment to God demands great sacrifice on our part, but we can be sure it will be worth it all in the end.
If you've been receiving Today's Scripture daily this year--you will be happy to know that we have now gone through the entire Bible! Book by Book this year so far! That means you have read at least one Scripture from each book of the Bible (66 Books in all). I am so excited to be on this journey with you all each day!
You have blessed my family with your prayers, encouragement, and willingness to go deeper and further into God's Word.
I look forward to continuing to bring you all a daily Scripture for the remainder of the years ahead!
Give yourself a pat on the back!! You've read a Scripture from each book of the Bible so far this year! And just think--the year isn't even half way over yet!
God bless you!
