Scripture lesson: Malachi 4:1-2 Which category are we
Time to reflect: There are many harsh passages in Scripture, Old and New Testament. Many of these passages are worded so harshly because they (including Jesus) were trying to get people's attention. If things are worded vaguely or gently they tend to be ignored. Even if some of the harsh passages (such as Matthew 25) are offensive to us, at least we get the point. We need to realize clearly that “the day is coming.” We don't know when that day is but we don't want to have it catch us unaware or unprepared. So... are we going to be stubble or skipping like calves?
Moving through the day: Pray about how to be in the right category when that day comes.
"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall.
