Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in His presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored His name. Malachi 3:16
Malachi’s audience is a disillusioned, discouraged people. They have heard the words of other prophets, the promise of prosperity, a Messianic King, restoration and justice. As hope waned these people became very casual in their worship and totally neglectful of the life of Holiness to which they were called.
The prophecy of Malachi is a reminder that the believer must live in the light and certainty of God’s Sovereign power and absolute authority. He is worthy of an unquestioning faithfulness that permeates into person to person relationships.
God never changes……and neither does man. Where their is human failure, there is Devine Redemption and Restoration! God always hears our prayers and He is at work, even when we don’t feel it, or see it. Align yourself with your faithful brothers and sisters. Be their strength and let them be yours. God will reveal Himself in a most beautiful way.
