Malachi 3: 13-18 August 12, 2025 Today, I woke up with a bright smile. My head does not ache nor my eyes. Then I looked at my smartwatch and saw I had 9 hours and 3 minutes of sleep and between those I did not woke up once. Thank God! It's very rare that I have 9 hours of sleep for the past few weeks. I only have around 5-6 hours. Most especially yesterday when I was sick because of my stomach cramps. I wasn't able to sleep well. Only had 5 combined hours and woke up 6 times. So I am really thankful to God of making me sleep well. So I read the Bible because I wasn't able to finish it last night. I read in Malachi 3:13-18. It says, (this have an english and tagalog transalation) Malachi 3:13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? Ang inyong mga salita ay naging lapastangan laban sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon. Gayon ma'y inyong sinasabi, Sa ano kami nangagsalita ng laban sa iyo? Malachi 3:14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? Inyong sinabi, Walang kabuluhan ang maglingkod sa Dios; at anong kapakinabangan nito na ating iningatan ang kanyang bilin, at tayo'y nagsilakad na may pananangis sa harap ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo? Malachi 3:15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. At ngayo'y ating tinatawag ang palalo na mapalad, oo, silang nagsisigawa ng kasamaan ay nangagtayo; oo, kanilang tinutukso ang Dios, at tumatakas. Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. Nang magkagayo'y silang nangatatakot sa Panginoon ay nagsangusapan: at pinakinggan ng Panginoon, at dininig, at isang aklat ng alaala ay nasulat sa harap niya, para sa kanila na nangatakot sa Panginoon, at gumunita ng kaniyang pangalan. Malachi 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. At sila'y magiging akin, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, sa araw na aking gawin, sa makatuwid baga'y isang tanging kayamanan; at akin silang kaaawaan, na gaya ng isang tao na naaawa sa kaniyang anak na naglilingkod sa kaniya. Malachi 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Kung magkagayo'y manunumbalik kayo at makikilala ninyo ang matuwid at ang masama, yaong naglilingkod sa Dios at yaong hindi naglilingkod sa kaniya. These words of God resonated with me because I have been wondering why the wicked get rich and the faithful keeps suffering. And now I kinda understand a little. And know that Inshould not fret for my God is faithful and He loves me. And He cares for me. And He doesn't want me to experience the wrath of His Father when the time comes. So I really really thank Jesus for showing and giving us the way, the truth and the life. He is worthy of all our praise. Glory be to God, creator of the universe. Who is, who was and who is to come! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🫶❤️❤️
