Malachi 4 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO

 

Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rulesthat I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel. Malachi 4:4 – The prophet has been calling God’s people to a serious change in behavior through this book. We’ve seen them turn to all sorts of sin and a turn from such sin needed to take place. In a conclusion of all that he’s said already, we see Malachi sum up the words with a simple command to remember. Remember the law that you’ve been given already. As in Micah 6, God had already told them what He wanted from His people, now it was time to remember His words and do them. This concept of remembering was also going to be extremely important for God’s people for new words were not going to be heard from the Lord for a long time after this. There was a gap of about 400 years of silence from the Lord to His people between the message of Malachi and the events of the New Testament. In that space of silence from the Lord, how were the people supposed to remain faithful? By remembering what God had already said. In our story, we to can remain faithful to God when it feels like He is being silent with us by remembering what He has already spoken to us. Often what we need isn’t a new revelation or new command from the Lord, we just need to remember what He’s already spoken to us. As we close out 2025 today, take time to remember what the Lord has taught you this past year and remember it in the new year. While I’m so grateful we have a God who is alive and still speaks to us, He also calls us to remember the words He has poured into us in the past. Praise the Lord that we serve a God whose words are faithful and true for all generations. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3322
