Dawn of HopePosted Jun-21-07 07:57:34 PDT But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings.
Malachi 4:2
In the day of the Lord, God's wrath towards the wicked will burn like a furnace. But he will be like the healing warmth of the sun to those who love and obey him. John the Baptist prophesied that with the coming of Jesus, the dawn was about to break with light for those in sin's darkness. In Isaiah 60:20, we learned that no light will be needed in God's holy city, because God himself will be the light. These last verses of the Old Testament are filled with hope. Regardless of how life looks now, God controls the future, and everything will be made right. We who have loved and served God look forward to a joyful celebration. This hope for the future becomes ours when we trust God with our lives.
God bless you,
J.H.
