The Israelites’ MisconceptionsMal 3:13a “My, how tiresome it is!”

Mal 2:17 “Where is the God of justice?”

Mal 3:14 “‘It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked in mourning before the Lord of hosts?”

Mal 3:15 “not only are the doers of wickedness built up but they also test God and escape”

Their Complaints

“how tiresome it is to serve God

“where is the God of justice?

“It is unprofitable to serve God”

“the wicked enjoy and escape”

Malachi: EXAMINE YOURSELF!

Who are you serving really? Who is really your boss?

How can you expect justice when you deal treacherously …

How can you expect profit when you’re robbing from Me?

The wicked will not escape. You will not escape!

Malachi: KNOW GOD!1. GOD does care for those who fear Him

16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who esteem His name. 17 “They will be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” 18 So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. (Malachi 3:16-18)

And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple (Malachi 3:1)

1 “For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” 2 “But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. 3 “You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing,” says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 4:1-3)

Buổi Mai Với Jêsus1. Tôi đi một mình vào nơi thanh vắng

Lúc sương đêm chưa ráo trên ngàn bông hồng

Và văng vẳng tiếng ai

Giọng khoan nhơn thân ái

Chính Jêsus Christ Con Trời hiển lai

Buổi Mai Với JêsusChúa với tôi tâm giao khi Ngài đi bên tôi

Và Ngài phán chính Chúa đã chuộc tôi

Thật sung sướng thỏa vui khi gần bên Jêsus

Chẳng còn ai trong trần thế sánh hơn

Buổi Mai Với Jêsus2. Jêsus chuyện trò cùng tôi thân thiết

Khiến muôn chim reo hát khi hừng đông về

Giờ tôi thỏa mãn thay, giờ tương giao với Chúa

Lánh xa tối tăm đau buồn trần gian

Buổi Mai Với JêsusChúa với tôi tâm giao khi Ngài đi bên tôi

Và Ngài phán chính Chúa đã chuộc tôi

Thật sung sướng thỏa vui khi gần bên Jêsus

Chẳng còn ai trong trần thế sánh hơn
