Monday - 2/19 - Read Malachi 2:17-3:5
Where is the God of justice?
This world can be a pretty nasty place to live in sometimes. Lot's of innocent people suffer horribly at the hand of fellow humans. Don't you long for God to do something about it? Why?
Are you ever tempted to feel like the the Israelites, that living a good life in God's eyes is fruitless?
What does God tell the Israelites who felt this way in 3:2 that puts this in the right perspective?
Why is God taking so long? Read 2 Pet. 3:3-9. Does that shed any light on why God is taking so long?
If God had judged this world before you had an opportunity to exist, what would that mean for you?
Answer this question again: Where is the God of justice? Answer it in light of some of the questions you answered above. Has your perspective changed? Should it?
Read Malachi 3:6-12 in preparation for next Sunday.
