We Are God’s Treasured Possessions
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name. “They will be mine,” says the Lord Almighty, “In the day when I make up my treasured possession.” - Malachi 3:16-17
Every once in a while I’ll meet with an old friend that I haven’t seen in many years. We talk and laugh about “the good old days.” It is pleasant to remember those days. This passage deals with the idea of people coming together and remembering past times. It speaks of a scroll of remembrance being written.
I remember as a child being in awe of the stories of great blessing my mom and dad used to tell. There were stories of miraculous healings, even the dead being restored to life. There were stories of God providing when no one else around them had anything.
Were my parents super hero type Christians? No, they were just every day hard working believers who took God at his word. Of people like my parents Malachi says, “The Lord listened and heard.”
The Lord says, “They will be mine in the day when I make up my treasured possession.” What a promise. I encourage you to make it a pattern in your life that you get together with other believers and remember the blessings of the Lord.
