34 for 30: Day 1 - Malachi

Malachi was a quick read at 4 chapters yet.  The first verse points out that it was written by Malachi and my notes show that this means 'my messenger'. I use the Reformation Study Bible along with Woodrow Kroll's book as a reference.  Keeping this in mind, the dating of the book is somewhere between 458 and 433 B.C. and it occurs about the time of Ezra and Nehemiah.  I read this today with one of my sons and one of his buddies.  Did you notice that 'Lord of Hosts' was mentioned 24 times?  I would say that 'the messenger' definitely has something God wanted us to know about!  Did you happen to think about how we offer to God something of lesser value as well?  Do you love Him with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength?  Do you give Him your best or maybe just the afterthoughts? I was convicted.
