God is the unifying factor in life. We are all created by Him, making Him our Father, yet we betray each other, and violate His plan. If the world wants “life and peace”, why not follow the plans our Maker has designed. Instead of looking for ways to gain peace and live life by choosing our own plans, why not live the way we were designed to live? The entire book of Malachi is God’s message to a group that has became apathetic, insincere, and complacent in their worship. His remedy is to do things His way. Why? Because it works. How we see God, and relate to the world flows through this view of our Maker. Does this sound like today’s society? We are all related, like family (believers). Why don’t we treat each other like family? Spiritual health requires daily maintenance. If it’s neglected, apathy and insincerity follow. This breeds insecurity, anxiety, worry, and depression. Very popular descriptions of modern day America, yes? Neglecting our spiritual health shows up in how we treat each other. And the state our spiritual health reveals what’s in our hearts. If God is our father, why not start acting like it. Let’s treat others as members of our own family. The first step is accepting the fact that we are all created by God, which links us into one big family. If God is not our Father, then continuing to treat others without respect will only lead to a nation divided ready to fall.
10 Are we not all children of the same Father? Are we not all created by the same God? Then why do we betray each other, violating the covenant of our ancestors?
Malachi 2:10
