Fitting In
January 12, 2018
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard.
Malachi 3:16
Lee is a diligent and reliable bank employee. Yet he often finds himself sticking out like a sore thumb for living out his faith. This reveals itself in practical ways, such as when he leaves the break room during an inappropriate conversation. At a Bible study, he shared with his friends, I fear that Im losing promotion opportunities for not fitting in.
Believers during the prophet Malachis time faced a similar challenge. They had returned from exile and the temple had been rebuilt, but there was skepticism about Gods plan for their future. Some of the Israelites were saying, It is futile to serve God. What do we gain by carrying out his requirements . . . ? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly evildoers prosper, and even when they put God to the test, they get away with it (Malachi 3:1415).
How can we stand firm for God in a culture that tells us we will lose out if we dont blend in? The faithful in Malachis time responded to that challenge by meeting with like-minded believers to encourage each other. Malachi shares this important detail with us: The Lord listened and heard (v. 16).
God notices and cares for all who fear and honor Him. He doesnt call us to fit in but to draw closer to Him each day as we encourage each other. Lets stay faithful!
Lord, help us to keep on encouraging one another to stay faithful to You in this faithless world.
Our faith may be tested so that we may trust Gods faithfulness.
Malachis prophecy is a fitting conclusion to the Old Testament. (Malachi may not have been his actual name since it means My messenger, which is more a title than a name.) The prophecy challenges Israels condition following their return from exile and anticipates their coming Messiah. Chapters 12 give a series of rebukes for the waywardness of Gods people, leading to the declaration, You have wearied the Lord with your words (2:17). In response to Israels spiritual drifting, God reaches out with a promise for their rescue. Malachi 3:1 says, 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. That messenger was John the Baptist who prepared the way for JesusIsraels long-hoped-for Messiah (Matthew 11:10). Even when we are faithless, our God is faithful!
How does Gods faithfulness encourage you to be faithful?
