flowers.

Malachi 3:1-14
1 See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the
Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of
the covenant in whom you delightindeed, he is coming, says the Lord of
hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when
he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; 3 he will sit
as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi
and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the Lord
in righteousness. 4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be
pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years.5 Then I
will draw near to you for judgment; I will be swift to bear witness against
the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against
those who oppress the hired workers in their wages, the widow and the
orphan, against those who thrust aside the alien, and do not fear me, says the
Lord of hosts. 6 For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of
Jacob, have not perished. 7 Ever since the days of your ancestors you have
turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I
will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, "How shall we
return?" 8 Will anyone rob God? Yet you are robbing me! But you say,
"How are we robbing you?" In your tithes and offerings! 9 You are cursed
with a curse, for you are robbing methe whole nation of you! 10 Bring the
full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and
thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts; see if I will not open the
windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.
11 I will rebuke the locust for you, so that it will not destroy the produce of
your soil; and your vine in the field shall not be barren, says the Lord of
hosts. 12 Then all nations will count you happy, for you will be a land of
delight, says the Lord of hosts. 13 You have spoken harsh words against me,
says the Lord. Yet you say, "How have we spoken against you?" 14 You
have said, "It is vain to serve God. What do we profit by keeping his
command or by going about as mourners before the Lord of hosts?
Luke 3:1-6
1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was
governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler
of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene, 2 during
the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son
of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3 He went into all the region around the Jordan,
proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, 4 as it is written
in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying out in
the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every
valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the
crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth; 6 and all
flesh shall see the salvation of God.' "
