Today: [Malachi 3] Refiner’s Fire and Fuller’s Soap: In Malachi 3 we have a Messianic promise of God’s messenger coming to the people of God, not just as a healing balm, but as a refiner’s fire. There is at this time a deep lack of discernment in the people Malachi writes to in our chapter. They feel they are as close to God as they possibly can be, but in reality, are living in a state of deep deficit in their relationship to the Father. Could this be you? Are you really as close to God as you think you are? Mal. 3 gives us a opportunity for clear eyed self-examination.
