In today’s message, we learn of how the priests of Malachi’s day had grown half-hearted and negligent in their service to the Lord and leadership of the people. God’s name was no longer feared or honoured and as a result, the Lord’s presence and blessings were removed. The message in Malachi remains the same today — seek the Lord with all your heart and honour, then watch as he pours out his blessings in abundance!
