"Will anyone rob God? Yet you are robbing me! But you say, 'How are we robbing you?' In your tithes and offerings. [snip] Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing." Malachi 3:8, 10
I have been asked some probing questions about the upcoming election in November, which candidate I believe worthy to occupy the White House, and while I know people are only looking to me for guidance, I can only offer the advice to read everything about every candidate that you can get your hands on, then read some more, and pray. (And also that I am a dirty, tree-hugging liberal who spent the first years of her life in a commune, and that should tell you something.) I think given what this country has been through in the last several years, Malachi has some interesting things to say.
Malachi is not one of the largest books of the bible. It is not the shortest in the canon, but it is a very near thing and for the four chapters of fifty-four verses, it manages to say a lot. It talks about some of the biggest problems plaguing our society today. No, I'm not talking about disaffected teenagers and their angry rock and roll music, as though that weren't reason enough to be worried.
( The Book of Malachi. )
That was quite, long, my apologies. Now I will have to find something else to do for Sunday... hm...
Which reminds me, I will be out of town for a few days, soon. I won't know when until right before I get told to leave, but I will leave things in the capable hands of my dear friend and assistant who you all see with me on Sundays and most Saturday evenings in the park. He speaks just as well as I do, even if he does have a few screwy ideas about how important football is, ha ha. It will be an exciting trip, a friend and I are going to meet up with another one of our old friends we've been out of contact with for awhile. I'm quite excited, I think it will be fun.
Beyond that, remember: pray hard, no one knows the day or the hour.
"But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its winds. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet." Malachi 4:2-3
