Malachi 1
Malachi is the last of Minor Prophets and his message from God is a word of warning for those who have ambivalent towards God, unbelieving that God will be what He says He is and do what He says He will do.
God wants all of our heart and 100% of our lives and devotion - He does not want us to hold back.
In response to questioning from the Jewish leaders regarding what the most important commandment is, Jesus responds love God with all of your heart, soul, and mind.
There is danger to holding back - including being held accountable for our actions on Judgement Day.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who gave everything for me - that I could have life and have it with abundance - thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love. I get angry too quickly. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. 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. Please help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Please help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the Lord Almighty. v6
