For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction – because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty. Malachi 2:7 NIV 1984
In this brief verse we see God’s job description for His messenger. They are to preserve knowledge so men can trust his instruction. Yet, might He also have a job description for others as well?
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 NIV 1984
As in many jobs, if God were to say, ‘It’s time for a performance evaluation,’ how might our performance be rated? Would He say we need improvement to acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with Him? Or might He be inclined to say, Well done!?

Have you ever wondered where this phrase originated: “The third time is a charm”? It is often shared as an encouragement to not give up. It came to mind when I read:
Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of living water there. But the shepherds of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s shepherds saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Quarrel, because they quarreled with him. Then he dug another well and they quarreled over it, too, so he named it Accusation. Then he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he named it wide spaces and said, “Because now ADONAI has created wide spaces for us and we will be fruitful in the land.” Genesis 26:19-22 TLV
Like Isaac, let us persevere – let us not give up, even if our efforts are required three times. Let us not give up, especially in doing good because God promised:
So let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good toward all – especially those who belong to the household of faith. Galatians 6:9-10 TLV

Yet as we examine how she responded, we find that she was greatly Rewarded by God. And as we consider her story, we can learn how to manage our unjust circumstances and eventually find that we, too, can be Rewarded. Available on Amazon – search Tanja Dufrene.
