Malachi 4

I hope all of you had a good Labor Day weekend. We did a bit of work around the house, but for the most part, we just rested.

Chapter 4 of Malachi is only 5 verses long. It is a warning/promise of the day of the LORD. It is a warning for those who do wicked, a promise for those who honor God. Verses 2 and 3 are a comfort, especially now in this time of sorrow, grief and loss. "'But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things,' says the LORD Almighty" (Mal. 4:2-3). I look forward to the day when I can trample our main enemy, Satan...or just watch God do it.

I pray that God will bring you healing and strength in the ways you need today.
