Morning Devotional – December 17 (Scripture: Malachi 4:1–2)

Key Truth: Malachi promised that judgment would come for the wicked, but for those who fear the Lord, the “Sun of Righteousness” would rise with healing and joy. This prophecy points to Jesus, who brings hope and restoration even in the darkest times. Reflection Questions: When have you ignored God’s ways and suffered the consequences without recognizing the connection? Is the warning of verse 1 or the hope of verse 2 more applicable to you right now? Where do you need the healing and joy that Jesus brings? Prayer Prompt: Thank God for sending the Sun of Righteousness to bring healing and hope. Ask Him to help you live in His light today.
