God’s Verse for God’s People

Malachi.

Malachi’s chief concern was the Israelites’ relationship to God was not as it should be. They had forgotten God and treated him with dishonor. They failed to do what God required of them. Because of this, there would be judgment, but the God-fearing people did not need to worry because they were in God’s book and would enjoy God’s salvation forever.

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings—name them one by one;

Count your blessings—see what God hath done’

Count your blessings name them one by one;

Count your many blessings—see what God hath done.
