Scripture:
“Then those who feared the Lord spoke with each other, and the Lord listened to what they said. In his presence, a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared him and always thought about the honor of his name.” Malachi 3:16 NLT
Observation:
This passage says that in God’s presence, a scroll was written to record the names of those who feared God and always thought about the honor of His name. This scroll was written to remember the names of those who feared God. There is a link here between the fear of God and those who honor Him. Both should be in our lives.
Application:
I want to live a life that honors God and makes Him look good. This comes from having a proper fear of the Lord. We should desire the holiness that Malachi speaks toward. I want to live a life that gets the books in heaven opened because I feared and obeyed the Lord completely. I don’t want to be on the fence in any area. I want to be fully submitted to God at all times. Honoring His names is so important as well. We should want God’s reputation to be awesome when people look at our lives.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, You are awesome and worthy of worship. You are my strength and my life. You are my everything. Help me to live humble before You and to fear You every day of my life. Let me have a healthy fear of the the Lord and let my life bring You honor. Help me to live a life that makes You look good. Let me never smear Your reputation in any way. Help me to represent You well.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
