Episode 381: Malachi

Today's Prayer Meditation is on the Book of Malachi

You have always loved me, Father. Your greatness knows no borders. You deserve all of my honor and respect. I offer you all that I have, my very life as a living sacrifice. Your name is great among the nations. You are my King.

The purpose of your covenant is to bring life and peace. That is what you give me. And all you require in return is that I reverence you. I stand in awe of your name. I speak your truth. I do not lie or cheat. I walk with you, living a good and righteous life, and turn others from lives of sin.

My lips preserve knowledge of you, Father. 

We are all children of the same Father. We were all created by the same God. So why would I betray my brothers and sisters or violate your covenant?

I guard my heart and I am faithful.

You sent your messenger, the Messiah. He is like a blazing fire that refines metal, or like a strong soap that bleaches clothes. Like a refiner of silver, he burned away the dross of my life. He purified me and refined me like gold and silver so that I could once again be an acceptable sacrifice to you. 

You are the Lord, and you do not change. I returned to you, and you returned to me.

I bring my tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough for those the church cares for. And you open the windows of heaven for me. You have poured out a blessing so great I don't have enough room to take it in! I have tried it. I put you to the test as you asked. My harvests are abundant, for you protect them. You rebuke the devourer for my sake, and he cannot destroy the fruit of my labor. Everyone calls me blessed, for they can see your favor on my life. 

There is profit to be had by serving you and keeping your word. You bless those who love you. 

I fear you with a holy reverence, Father, and I honor your name. I am yours, your special treasure. You have spared me as a loving Father spares an obedient child. 
spares an obedient child. There is a difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not. You have showered my life with blessings. 

The Sun of Righteousness rose with healing in his wings. And I went free, leaping with joy like a calf let out to pasture. I tread upon the enemy like dust under my feet.

So be it. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
