A DAY
BURNING LIKE FURNACE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “For the day is coming now burning
like a furnace; and all the arrogant and evil doers will be like stubble.” (Malachi
3:13-20)
Reflection. We are just dipping into the prophets
and now we have Malachi and his words about “the day of the Lord.” It will be the
day of judgement of the nations – that fearful day the scriptures speak of, which
we know will take place in the future. But the day is also “today”; “Oh, that
today you would listen to the Lord!” Each day carries its weight of “judgement”
in the sense of decision and each day I make bold or feeble decisions. Each day
I have a chance of making courageous decisions or of slipping back into
comfortable ones.
Prayer. Lord Jesus, help us to seize the day
as it comes and “strain forward” to the goal. Amen.
