DLCM DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL
THE INEVITABLE FIERY DAY
3RD , AUGUST 2022
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: John 6-7
TEXT: Malachi 4:1-6
1 “For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an
oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And
the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor
branch.
2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness
shall arise With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the
soles of your feet On the day that I do this,” Says the Lord of
hosts.
4 “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded
him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming
of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And
the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the
earth with a curse.”
KEY VERSE:
“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an
oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and
the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall
leave them neither root nor branch.” - Malachi 4:1
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God's judgment has no appeal.
THE MESSAGE:

Towards the end of World War 2, the
Americans dropped two atomic bombs, codenamed "Little Boy" and
"Fat Man", on Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities of Japan. There was no
prior warning; the day looked normal until everything was obliterated within
seconds. The devastation was unbelievable, both properties and people were
burnt to ashes. The incident ended the war.
We are in the last days. God's fiery
vengeance upon unrepentant sinners on earth is inevitable. Being merciful and
just, He has variously warned in both the Old and New Testaments that sin must
be punished. A forerunner to this is God's fiery judgment on the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness. Again, the Scripture forewarns that
"the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned
up".
While God is gracious, merciful and
compassionate, He is also a God of justice and a consuming fire. To escape His
wrath, the sinner must seek the Lord before it is too late; turn away from sin
and accept God's offer of salvation by grace through faith. Then he/she is to
remain in that grace, serving the Lord acceptably. Complacency in a world
marked for destruction is dangerous. Escape for your life!
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
