Malachi 2: 4-6 "Then at last you will know it was I who sent you this warning so that my
covenant with the Levites can continue," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "The purpose of my covenant with the Levites was to bring life and peace, and
that is what I gave them. This required reverence from them, and they greatly
revered me and stood in awe of my name. They passed on to the people the truth of the instructions they received from
me. They did not lie or cheat; they walked with me, living good and righteous
lives, and they turned many from lives of sin." NLT
Sweet Lord,
Your plan is always the best for us. Your plan for them and us is life and peace. You even went so far as to come to us as Emmanuel in human form to: love, teach, bless, heal, and be the perfect Sacrificial Lamb for all mankind! You gave Your life for us so that we may not only have eternal life with You, but also an abundant life here. You give the peace that passes all understanding if we allow it.
As one of Your priests in this age, You long for, "they greatly revered me and stood in awe of my name. They passed on to the people the truth of the instructions they received from me. They did not lie or cheat; they walked with me, living good and righteous lives, and they turned many from lives of sin." to be true of all Christians and me.
Lord, have I failed to be the priestess You have asked me to be? Has Your church as a whole failed You in America? There is so much evil in our country. I am very fortunate that I have righteous pastors and teachers at our church and at Liberty University where you have blessed me to work, who teach and live the truth. I want to be a blessing to You and to all with whom I come in contact. Help me, Lord! Help all of us who claim Your name to be like Levites were at first.
