Healing...

Malachi 4:1 - 3

 ¹ "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. ² But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. ³ Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.

A bit under the weather today, I stayed home to rest.  Feeling the need for justice in my life right now, and the need for health and healing, this passage speaks to me.

In this life, it is hard, at times, to see justice at work.  There are times the scales of justice are a bit off-kilter and it's hard to see things as we believe they should be.

But for God's faithful, those who behold the mightiness of God's name, justice WILL rise - it is promised, it is certain.  And with that justice, there will be healing.  Those who are down-trodden, will be lifted up and leap up to their feet, going forth, walking - even walking over the ashes of the mighty who have fallen.

There are times I cannot understand this world nor the things that happen it.  Without the hope of this promise, I'm not sure I could continue to walk the earth.

Thanks be to God, for justice that WILL come, for restoration and for healing.
