[[-SOAP HUB]] [[-Malachi Overview]] [[Malachi 04]] ## Title: Those Who Follow Find Joy ## Scripture: (Malachi 4:2) “But for you who respect my name, the sun of vindication will rise with healing wings, and you will skip about like calves released from the stall.” (NET) ## Observation: I was talking to my daughter the other day and she said one of her professors did something to ensure students came to class. For those who followed the instructor’s instructions and showed up for class, they became exempt from an assignment. Those who did not show up for class did not hear the announcement so they had to do the assignment. The only price was to do what the instructor said and the reward followed. So much of God’s Word proclaims the same. Those who follow the Lord receive the peace and joy that can only come from the Lord. However, you have to “show up” and follow in order to receive. ## Application: Follow the Lord and watch what happens. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for showing us the way to life.
