The gospel assures us of righteousness by faith. There is reason to be proud of it. Romans 1:17.

I’m asking myself what it means to be proud of the gospel of Jesus Christ. What does that entail? Romans 1:16.

So brethren, as mentioned in Malachi 3:16-18, let us talk with one another, because we serve Jehovah who listens. Let us honour His name. Let us agree to worship Him not only in song, but also by living a life that allows Him to have His way in us. May it please Him to spare us and distinguish us from the wicked.

Some may we feel aggrieved because they have tried serving God faithfully, yet they suffer while the wicked prosper or seem to prosper. Being servants of God comes with its own challenges. Malachi 3:13-15. But serving God diligently is worth it. Fearing or revering God has amazing benefits. May we not tire. Malachi 3:16-18.

Apart from spiritual leaders who are formally trained and appointed to serve the Lord, we are all priests by virtue of having spiritual dependants the Lord has placed under our care: our spouses, children, etc. We therefore ought to ask the Lord what He expects of us and depend on Him to help us carry out our responsibilities. May we not be like the priests mentioned in Malachi 2:1-9.

Unconfessed sin displeases the Lord. If there is anything that would anger Him, let us be sure to talk to Him about it and repent. He is merciful. He will protect us, instruct us and shower us with His unfailing love. So let us rejoice and be glad.

I have just been reminded that our God has no peers. There is no one like Him. He is loving and gracious and He deserves our praise and worship because of who He is and what He does. Psalm 32:1-2.

In our quest for spiritual growth, there are some habits we have to trust God to overcome, because they could destroy us. In 1 Kings 21:1-19, we see a character trait of Ahab that destroyed him. Greed or lack of contentment led him to be an accomplice to murder. Why that particular vineyard? May the Lord help us.

In 1 Kings 20:31-43, Ahab blundered after the Lord had given him victory over a powerful enemy. This happened because Ahab didn’t have a consistent walk with God and did not know what was expected of him. So he did as he wished and the Lord went to great lengths – including the death of a man and a serious injury to a prophet – to communicate the wrongdoing. May we learn to hear and obey God consistently.

1 Kings 20:15-30 shows us that Ahab actually listened to God’s counsel and implemented what the Lord told him. May we not only follow God’s guidance when it suits us or when we are facing trouble. I pray that we would follow Him consistently.
