Malachi 2: 6 True instruction was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin.
In the midst of the sin and condemnation of Nehemiah and Malachi, I found this verse in praise of Levi. You gotta love it. Who wouldn't want God to speak this way about them?
I am feeling a bit down these days. I am so overworked that my life feels like it has slipped away from me. I have been sick, I have been injured, and now I am just overwhelmed.
Maybe I need to visualize myself as Levi. I have true instruction to offer, still. I do not lie. If I follow the righteous path, I may find peace. The Lord may still need me where I am for the time being, to be a witness for Him.
Prayer: Lord, guide me to live like Levi. I want to live in peace and righteousness with You. Show me what I have to offer others in truth and learning.
Amen
One year later, and I praise God for removing me from the stress of last year.
