Malachi 4
Malachi delivers a message of both victory and defeat, for He describes the coming the Lord at the end of times (Revelation). For those of us who believe in Jesus and trust in Him as our Lord and Savior, this is a victory...a final victory over sin and death. Yet Christ provides victory for us daily and has given us a great task to bring others to Him (Matthew 28).
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God, full of love, compassion, and patience for all of Your children. You loved us and saved us while we were still sinners. Amazing. Thank You Jesus for such mercies and compassion! I am not worthy such love and blessings. I am impatient, and I worry, among my many sins. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me serve You, my family, the church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. v2

Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. Jude 1:22-23
