Pastor Eric encourages us to read with intent and asks: Are we asking the right questions when we read the Bible? As we look at verse 2 of Malachi 1, we see the statement of fact that God has loved (treasured) Israel and review the proof of His love time after time. While man's love is fickle, God's love is intrinsic. Additional Scriptures: Gen 25:28,37:3; 1 Sam 1:5; Deut 4:37, 7:1.6-8, 10:15-16; Hos 11:11.
