Malachi 3:3

Our Heavenly Father has a goal: to cleanse us of sin.  Malachi 3:3 explains that He sits as a SMELTER, or a refiner, watching over us as the heat of daily life, trials, and sufferings cause impurities to rise to the surface.  What happens when sin glaringly rises in life? We have the opportunity to be appalled and confess the sin.  That is God’s goal. For us to be increasingly purified so we better reflect Christ. Are things heating up in your life? If so, be assured that your Heavenly Father is close to you and is watching over you. He hears your prayers and confessions. And, has anyone told you? You are reflecting Him more every day.

Lord, thank You, SMELTER of our mind, spirit, and soul. Purify us so we reflect Your image. 

“He will sit as a SMELTER and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness.”

Malachi 3:3

Friends, I’d love to have you join me any week on Wednesdays or Thursdays for our weekly Bible Study of John. Click here for more info.

Live outside of the Texas Hill Country? No problem! My weekly teachings and Listening Guides will be added HERE each week so you can follow along or use it for a group study. 

Is there anything about you that isn’t perfect? If you are perfect, congratulations.  I’m not. As a matter of fact, the closer I grow to Christ, the more aware I am of sin in my life. If you, like me, are mindful of your sin, here are some encouraging words. Malachi 3:3 says the Lord

will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness.

What good news! As Christ’s priests (1 Peter 2:9), we have confidence in our REFINER who is extracting sin from our life and clarifying us so we can stand before Him one day, perfect; so we can present to Him offerings in righteousness.

Our Heavenly Father has a goal: to cleanse us of sin.  Malachi 3:3 explains that He sits as a SMELTER, or a refiner, watching over us as the heat of daily life, trials, and sufferings causes our impurities to rise.  What happens when our sin glaring rises in our lives? We have the opportunity to confess our sin so God can remove them from us. God’s goal is for us to be increasing purified so we better reflect Him. Are things heating up in your life? If so, be assured your Heavenly Father is sitting as a Smelter, or a refiner, closely watching over you; patiently hearing your prayers and confessions. And, has anyone told you? You are reflecting Him more every day.

Is there anything about you that isn’t perfect? If you are perfect, congratulations.  I seem to be more aware of my sin now than when I became a Christian at the age of 12. What about you? If you’re like me in the sense of being mindful that you’re not perfect, here are some encouraging words. Malachi 3:3 says that “He (the Lord) will purify the sons of Levi (and 1 Peter 2:9 distinguishes believers as priests) and (He will) refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness.” That’s good news. We look in praise to our Heavenly Father, our REFINER; which means He “strains, extracts, clarifies” sin from our lives. Won’t it be wonderful one day to be in heaven and be all shiny and clear of sin?
