”So you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.“
Malachi 3:18 CSB
In this last communication to His people, there is only one more chapter before God goes silent for 400 years. He is talking about Jesus coming to earth to care for His people…they will have been familiar with seeing good and bad things happen to everyone. To Gods people they will be wondering if obedience matters to God…
The answer is clear, the righteous will be blessed but the disobedient will experience suffering and loss.
Lord, I feel like this has been true in my life even this week…even though obedience is not easy, you have blessed me beyond comprehension. You have led me very obviously to a different job, one that is not as sexy or impressive…but one that perfectly fits who you created me to be. Laying down what I desire and accepting your gift has brought all that I had hoped…a blessing in every way.
Help me to rest in You, knowing that you are leading me clearly. Continue to guide me and give me confidence in your direction. Allow me to rest in contentment every day, waiting expectantly for opportunity to serve you more.
