Today's Devotion: Malachi 3:16 (New International Version) - 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.
In this chapter, the prophet has been talking about those who continue to turn away from him and the few that have kept the faith among the Israelites. It is the few that will be rewarded.
Today's Comment: Apostasy continues, just as it did during Old Testament times. God's chosen people continue to ignore their God. Isn't it amazing that even after the Babylonian Exile and the restoration of Jerusalem and the Temple, that God's people continued to disobey Him? While Malachi spoke to those in his day, he still speaks to us today. We have forsaken God for worldly wealth and sexual pleasure, for greed and gluttony. We have spoiled ourselves and shoved our God from the center of our lives. It is time to bring Him back.
