But for you who revere my name...

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Malachi 4:2

Hope you are enjoying the Leaping Forward series as much as I do. Thank you and God bless you!

Let us continue to focus on the same verse today, Malachi 4:2...

If you think about it, sun rises after darkness and the leaping of cattle follows a time of confinement within the stalls. The implication here is, there may be situations in our lives that limits us and it may seem like darkness has engulfed us, but it is only for a short while.

We see a related Scripture in Isaiah 60:19-20 which reads: The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. Amen!

Darkness or affliction is also part of life, for believers and non believers alike. Only how we handle them is different. In Psalm 119:71 King David sings, "It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees."

Let that be our song too. Let us take comfort that our Lord is with us as we pass through the valley of shadow of death and darkness. His staff and His rod they comfort us. Soon leaping will be ours and there will be intense deliverance and immense joy! Praise the Lord!

Let us continue rejoice over our Savior and His promises today. God bless you. Have a great weekend!

You will leap like calves released from the stall

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Malachi 4:2

What a wonderful God we serve! Do you revere His name this morning? Then this promise is yours today! The sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings! And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall! Amen!

I am sure all of us have seen the rising of the sun and the leaping of the calves released from the stalls, have we not? There is immense joy, health and power in both events. To know that we will leap like the calves and find healing under the sun of righteousness, it is equally joyful; is it not?!

For the rest of the day, let us repeat this verse to ourselves, to our situation, to our concerns, and more importantly let us continue to revere His name. Surely healing and leaping is sure to follow! Amen!

We will discuss the same verse again in more detail tomorrow...
