Malachi 2:1-16
Today's passage to thought to have come from about 460 BC, a time when God's people had returned from the Babylonian captivity. However, their worship lead by the priests had become somewhat mechanical and devoid of spirit. Amid this, Malachi is used by God to call his people back to essentials, to return to lives that value faithfulness , such as in marriage .
In the times that we live in, we too might often seem rudderless, even in the relationships that we surround ourselves with. Yet, if we can truly ask ourselves what is it that we seek with one another, then we can then moved forward in our lives, for if we are open to sharing and engaging in a spirit of caring for one another, we will find that our lives are again marked by a sense of purpose, direction and meaning. This applies too in our relationship with God. When we are open to love and inclusiveness for all that is around us, we find ourselves becoming... entering into an awareness that we are in fact grounded in God, and this seems good!
