Malachi

The book of Malachi is largely written to the priests of that time (2:1, 7). And it is not a book that speaks of what a great job the priests are doing. It is an admonition tot he priests to return to God and begin following Him in the way they are supposed to. It is a condemnation of their acts of their turning away. And sometimes we marvel at this: that even the priests would turn away from God! But then, consider I Peter 2:9. As Christians, we are a royal priesthood. And how often do we turn our backs on God? Let us be careful to not be like those in the time of Malachi! Let us be the priesthood in service to God that we should be!
