获取软件Daily Bible Reading – December 2021: God’s Word of Joy预览
December 15
Introduction
Malachi calls the priests and the people to renew their faithfulness to their covenant with God. Husbands are admonished to remain faithful to their wives. Malachi sees marriage as a permanent agreement much like God’s agreement with the people of Israel.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Malachi 2:1-17
Today’s Key Verse: Malachi 2:5a
[The LORD Almighty says:] “In my covenant I promised them life and well-being, and this is what I gave them, so that they might respect me.”
Reflect
Faithfulness meant keeping promises and agreements; it also meant being completely loyal to God or to a partner in marriage. How is marriage like the relationship that the people were to have with God? Reread verses 6-8. How are the current priests compared with those of the past? What is the duty of priests? Is the same true of clergy today? In what ways do you demonstrate your faithfulness to God?
Pray
God of steadfast love, may I remain faithful to you. Keep me on the right path so that I heed your voice and do what is pleasing in your sight. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Couples seeking marriage counseling
Tomorrow’s Reading
Malachi 3:1-18: The LORD’s messenger will be sent to proclaim the LORD’s covenant.
