Anticipating the King: Malachi 3:1-4 (NIV 1984)
“See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.
But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.
“Come, Lord Jesus and redeem your people from this present evil age that we may celebrate and glorify you in unending fellowship. Amen.” (Anticipate – An Advent Experience, Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, pg. 36.)
“Lord of all, may you change our perspective of who you love in order that we may love them and invite them to join us in preparing for the advent of your Son. Amen.” (Anticipate – An Advent Experience, Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, pg. 33.)
“May your promises strengthen us on our Advent journey. Amen.” (Anticipate – An Advent Experience, Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, pg. 30.)
“God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, may our life of faith be pleasing to you as we prepare for the coming of your Son from heaven.” (Anticipate – An Advent Experience, Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, pg. 27.)
Faithfully Yours Forever
