“I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me. Then suddenly the LORD you are seeking will come to His temple; the Messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” Says the LORD Almighty. Malachi 3:1
Malachi shows in chapter 2 that our attitude toward God’s Holiness and Sovereignty is reflected in our actions toward each other and sometimes, good things happen to bad people. Steadfast faith is stretched when simple reasoning becomes complex disillusionment.
One promise in the Biblical narrative that gives eternal hope is the assurance of justice. Those who have committed evil and refused to subject themselves to God’s authority will be dealt with appropriately and those who have been faithful will receive their reward.
Waiting is hard, specially in times of trial and despair. Hope seems impossible to grasp and cling to, yet hope is all that’s left. God has not forgotten you. He hears the cry of your heart and everything that is happening is a part of your journey to His throne and victory over sin.
Love,
