Worship this Sunday will be rooted in Malachi 3.1-4 From this witness of Scripture we are reminded that the people of God have long since been waiting. God’s promised future is always already not yet. We, as the people of God in this day, are called to take our place in this season of waiting within.
Lori Conrell writes in her blog, “It’s hardly the “deck-the-halls” kind of message that we expect to hear at “the most wonderful time of the year.” But for those with the faithful ears to hear, it is the message that we Advent people anticipate: God has work to do on us, refining, cleansing, preparing us for his purposes.”
How might God be refining, cleansing, forming you this season?
What circumstances, habits, thought patterns, or ways of being in the world, keep you from believing in God’s endless possibility and in your part of God’s work to reconcile the world?
