It's become commonplace in popular culture to tell people to follow their hearts. But what Malachi makes clear is that that's terrible advice. What we see in Malachi 3:7-12 is that when it comes to something as ubiquitous as money and wealth, we can't trust our hearts. The people are robbing God by not giving joyfully, humbly, and sacrificially. How can they return? By regaining our fear of the Lord. It's the fear of the Lord that saves us from the danger of wealth and provides us with a direction for our wealth.
