Faithful Messenger
📜Faithful Messenger📜
“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me, Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant whom you desire, will come,“ says the LORD Almighty. Malachi 3:1.
What would we do without instant messaging?
No speedy yes or no to a lunch date. No quick answer to a question. No swift prayer in response to an urgent request. Not even a rapid wordless emoji ❤️🙏👏🏻. No immediate delivery.
Yet he was faithful to convey God’s promise of THE Messenger of the Covenant (Jesus). A very long chain of messengers over-arching generations to carry the most important communication ever dispatched.
Today, the messengers keep coming, long after Malachi. We, too, are relay-runners on God’s team, carrying a baton inscribed with the Good News of Advent. The instant message reads: Jesus’ payment cancels all debts. The emoji would simply be: ⍭
That’s our message to a hopeless world. We may be the only baton-passer to someone God has put on our track; hopefully, a strong link in the relay!
What message has God asked you to carry? Are you running with it?
PRAYER: Lord, help us to be open to receive the messages you give us and ready to run with them to the addressee!
