“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.”
Discussion Questions:
- Why does God take oppression and injustice so seriously?
- How can we align our lives with God’s heart for justice in practical ways?
- Are there any areas where you need to repent of actions or attitudes that may be unjust or dishonest?
Application:
- Find a way to serve the vulnerable this week—whether through giving, volunteering, or speaking out for justice.
- Pray for a softened heart toward those in need, asking God to show you how to reflect His justice.
- Join your Pastor at the Capital Wednesday to encourage our State Senate to affirm HB 441 – the Equal Protection Act. This would give the pre-born all the rights of the post-born. This is Justice and Righteousness
Part 5: The Unchanging Nature of God (Malachi 3:6)
“For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.”
Discussion Questions:
- How does God’s unchanging nature provide comfort in a constantly changing world?
- In what ways have you seen God’s faithfulness in your life, even when you have been unfaithful?
- How can we grow in trusting God’s unchanging character, especially in difficult times?
Application:
- Write down three ways God has remained faithful in your life.
- Memorize Malachi 3:6 as a reminder of His unchanging nature.
- Share a testimony with someone this week about how God has proven faithful to you.
Closing Reflection
Malachi 2:17–3:6 reminds us that while we may question God’s justice, He is always at work—purifying, refining, and ultimately remaining faithful. He does not change, and because of that, we can trust Him completely.
Take time to pray:
- Ask God to refine your heart.
- Thank Him for His justice and faithfulness and ask Him how you might play a part in seeing His justice enacted in our culture.
- Seek His guidance on how to apply these truths to your life.
