“’For behold the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze.’ Says the Lord of hosts, ‘so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
“’But for you who fear My name the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. And you will tread down the wicked for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
“’Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statues and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel. Behold I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse.’” Malachi 4:1-6
There is nothing like the joy that comes from noticing how God uses the images He has created in nature to remind us of principles of His beautiful Words. And the short little video of the calves jumping for joy is certainly a delight, but it is to remind us that no matter where we are in our walk with our heavenly Father, there is a joy in our hearts and a peace in our souls that cannot be matched!
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene
