Malachi 2-3 is all about saying one thing and doing another. It’s not supposed to be that way yet we’re ready to give it all for God until it costs us something. We try to hold onto our statements while we explain away our actions. God calls on Israel (and on us) to give our best, not our leftovers. That means that we become the sacrifice to God with a life that matches our promises to God – without compromise, without hypocrisy. Be sure to be here Sunday as Patrick opens up the word and challenges us not just to give the sacrifice, but to become the sacrifice.
“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 3:1 ESV)
