God Takes Action

And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, 
My own special possession, on the day I take action. 
And I will have compassion on them, 
as a man has compassion on his son who serves him. 
MALACHI 3:17


The day is coming, blazing like an oven, when all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch, says the Lord of hosts. But for you who fear My name, there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays. (Mal 3:19-20)

Fear not, call out to God! As your hearts have been disposed to stray from God, turn now ten times the more to seek him. (Bar 4:27-28) You will again see the distinction between the just and the wicked; between the one who serves God, and the one who does not serve Him. (Mal 3:18)

Jesus said, “And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Lk 11:9-10) All things have been handed over to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him.” (Lk 10:22)

See, you lowly ones, and be glad; you who seek God, may your hearts be revived! For the Lord hears the poor, and His own who are in bonds He spurns not. (Ps 69:33-34)

Blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked nor walks in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of the insolent,  but delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on his law day and night. He is like a tree planted near running water, that yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves never fade. Whatever he does, prospers. Not so the wicked, not so; they are like chaff which the wind drives away. For the Lord watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked vanishes. (Psalm 1:1-6)

“I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although You have hidden these things from the wise and the learned You have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been Your gracious will.” (Lk 10:21)
