"Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming," says the LORD Almighty Malachi 3:1 God has always sent a messenger to prepare the way for the arrival of His mighty Word. From the beginning of all things in Genesis 1 when God sent the Holy Spirit to prepare the void to receive His mighty creative Word, to John 1 when God sent the Baptiser ahead to prepare the hearts and lives of the people to receive His redemptive Word made flesh -- Jesus the Christ.
God is sending His messengers and His message into our lives to prepare us to receive His Word for us, in this time. Malachi said, "The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming" -- how eagerly are we looking for the message of the covenant in our lives today?
Dear Lord, we eagerly look for signs of Your message in our lives. Psalm 119:123 says, "my eyes eyes strain to see your deliverance, to see the truth of your promise fulfilled." Help us to not grow weary of searching for you. Amen
