In this passage, we see the people withholding their tithes and offerings from God. In doing so, they were robbing God of what they owed Him, robbing themselves of God's blessing and robbing others of the promise that God made to Abraham: that all the peoples of the earth will be blessed through you. Have you thought about how you give back to God, from the abundance He has given to you?

After the people of God have argued with Him about His love for them, the sacrifices they make and what God thinks about marriage, they have three more things that they're not happy about, His justice, what they give to Him and how they should serve Him. In this passage, we are going to look at the first of these, as the people ask, "Where is the God of justice?" v.2:17

After confronting the Priests, in Malachi 1:6-2:9, and their failure to offer correct sacrifices, God now turns to the people and confronts their failure to keep the covenant that God made with His people. When the men of Judah divorced their Jewish wives and married foreign women, they invited foreign gods into God's sanctuary. God finishes this confrontation with the charge to "be on our guard" v.15-16. What do we allow into our lives that takes us away from God, rather than growing in relationship with Him?

In this passage, we see God asking a question of the priests about where their honour and respect for Him is (v.6). The priests have allowed the people to offer sacrifices that were blind and lame and kept the best for themselves. We still face that same question in our lives. Do we give God our best or just what is left over?

In this passage, the people of Israel are doubting God's love for them. In v.2 they ask God, "How have you loved us?" God answers them in 3 ways: Firstly, God simply states, "I have loved you". Secondly, God reminds them that He has chosen them, and thirdly, God has blessed them.
