Malachi 3-4

Chapter 3 begins with Gods declaration that he will send a messenger to prepare the way for his arrival.  I wonder how many things God prepared?  Paul explained that God prepared to send Jesus before the creation of the world, and Jesus told us that he would prepare a place in eternity for those who follow after him and is preparing our hearts to come into his presence.  And his preparation work is not limited to spiritual realm.  Jeremiah knew that God had prepared him to be a prophet to the people of Judah.  Today God is actively preparing good works for us.  With all of this preparation it is difficult to consider that God might not be prepared for any struggle in our lives that we face.

It took me about 10 minutes to read this passage.
