But unto you that fear
my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye
shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the
wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I
shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 4: 2-3)
Our God is a
God of principles and has never compromised His standards at any time. He is
consistently consistent. He is very clear on His stand concerning anyone that
does not show any regard for Him. His judgement is reserved for such acts of
disobedience. However our focus today is on the benefits that accrue to them
that regard and fear the Lord. Clearly the Lord has stated in Hebrews 11 verse
6 that he that comes to God must first believe that He is and that He is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. It is not enough to arrive at the
door of the Lord but you have to believe that where you have arrived at his
true location. You need to know that every time you knock at his door he is
always willing to open unto you.
“But unto you that fear
my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings.” The Lord’s response to the ungodly is
not to be second guessed. The attitude of God towards them that fear His name
is that He immediately takes up the attribute of Sun of righteousness and also
in his arising there is healing in his wings. Take a while and look at that
expression of such an awesome attribute. “Sun of righteousness” is the
personality of our God that acts as the empowerment for His children to
manifest righteousness with ease. It is the privilege enjoyed by those that
fear the Lord.
The sun is
the strongest and most effective source of light. It surpasses all other lights
in intensity. Our God is Omnipotent- All Powerful. He is the inherent power
that allows you walk in righteousness. If God is righteousness personified then
it is clear to state that God will arise with the illumination of righteousness
on your path through life. When there is a life source, nourishment follows and
healing is inevitable. The benefits of reverently fearing God cannot be
exhausted. Where there is healing, there is strength to accomplish.
It is
obvious that these verses of scriptures gladden the heart. Clearly it is stated
that the condition for the Sun of righteousness to arise with healing in His
wings is stirred up by the fact that God’s children fear Him. The bible says
that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God is excited when we
show reverent fear toward him. It is that fear that stirs our heart to worship
Him and truly God’s majesty is truly breathtaking. He promises that we tread
down the wicked. So your challenges should not be enough to allow you to lose
focus. Hang in there and bask in God’s awesomeness in Jesus name.
