Malachi 3:16
THEN THOSE THAT FEARED THE LORD TALKED WITH EACH OTHER
I still find it strange.
You can spend time with some 'Christians' and yet they never seem to be able or allow the conversation get around to talking about the Lord! O.K. I'm totally 'Sold Out' to Jesus, but is it really too much to expect? Yes, I'll talk politics, current affairs, sport, music, fishing and hobbies if you want me to, but the subject I like talking about the most, is Jesus. I find that it is only when I start to share about Jesus and discuss 'spiritual' things, that I really 'come alive.'
What about you? Here, in Malachi's day, the people were not too much different. They were saying, "It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out His requirements? We call the arrogant, blessed. Certainly the evil doers prosper, and even those that challenge God escape." Not much different, is it? We see exactly the same things, today.
But it is still MY heart attitude that counts. Is God really important to me or not? Or do I just trust Him as my heavenly insurance policy?
No! Let's talk about the Lord. Let's boast about Him and make Him attractive to others. Let's encourage one another - the battles can be fierce, the struggles long and hard - we all need encouragement and the only One who can do that is Jesus.
"Then those that feared the Lord talked with each other and the Lord heard."
Fancy that! God listening into our conversations about Him! Not only that, but He had a Scroll of Remembrance written in His Presence. Is your name written on that scroll?
Oh yes, by faith and through His grace your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life - but is your name written on the Scroll of Remembrance, because you talk about the Lord and honour His Name?
If it is - God says "They shall be Mine in the day I make up My treasured possession. (Jewels in His Crown.) I will spare them and you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those that serve God and those who do not."
He does have the last word!
Are YOU in love with Jesus? Don't you just love sharing about your Saviour and Lord? If you do, not only will you begin to 'come alive' too, but also YOUR name will be written on the Scroll of Remembrance.
Thank You; Lord, for listening to our conversations about You!
