In Malachi 3 and 4 God will send His messenger who will purify the people. God accuses them of robbing Him but shortchanging the tithes and offerings. They have wondered what they get out of serving God. Instead of revering the Lord they are only in it for themselves. God does not stand for arrogance from His creation. God only remembers the humble.

How often do we shortchange God? We give of our time, our talents, and our treasures to every kind of outside activity and when it comes to serving the Lord we give of the precious little that is left. God challenges us: Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.  When we rob God, we are robbing ourselves of the blessings He is eager to give. Perhaps on this last day of the year we will recommit ourselves to give the best to the Lord, to give Him the full tithe and even our offerings. It is then that we show the reverence to God that is due Him. Think about it.

 Revelation 22 presents the same living waters as Zechariah did flowing from the throne of God out from Jerusalem. Those who serve God will see His face; His name is on their foreheads. We wash our robes in the living waters and worship God.

Jesus promises that He is coming soon. We wait for His coming. If you are thirsty, drink the living waters. They are a gift from God. Come, Lord Jesus!
