He Will Come

Behold, I send My messenger,
​​And he will prepare the way before Me.
​​And the Lord, whom you seek,
​​Will suddenly come to His temple,
​​Even the Messenger of the covenant,
​​In whom you delight.
​​Behold, He is coming,”
​​Says the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:1

The prophet Malachi is given last place in our Old Testament as he prophecies just before the drought of the word of God comes upon Israel. This drought of the spirit would go on for centuries before any divine revelation came again to the people of God. During all that time a remnant of the faithful waited for the Lord to come, and He did! Many were born, lived out their lives, and went back to the dust in this waiting time, much like we are doing today. They remained faithful.

We too remain faithful in a time of waiting. It is not easy and we can now feel the pain of waiting they felt back then as they watched the Temple for the Lord's coming. We watch and we wait, and we wonder at times if the Lord is delayed somehow. Of course He is not. Our word of encouragement for today is: He will come again. In the strength of our Lord Jesus, we get to remain faithful in a world that seems headed toward destruction. He is coming again!

Rejoice! He is coming again.
