Today I read Malachi 4, which talks about the coming day of the Lord including destruction and salvation. I considered that we all need to love Christ and the predicted devastation can be heartbreaking.
Coming Day of the Lord
God will burn the evil and save those that fear Him (Malachi 4:1-6). The fire will burn the proud and wicked to ashes. The Sun of righteousness or Christ will heal and save those honoring God. The returning Elijah’s efforts, getting fathers and children to care for each other, will be a sign. Honoring God and believing in Christ Jesus is important for everyone including mothers, fathers, children, and grandchildren.
Questions and Thoughts for Today
Imagining parts of the world covered by fire is possible with all the wildfires we hear about today. But God doing so on such a destructive scale is harder. Science is now proving that the sudden destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah were real. So, I try to stretch my imagination knowing God can do it, but this level of devastation makes my heart ache.
What have you read in the Bible that makes your heart ache when you think about it?
