Scripture:
“Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands. Seek to do what is right and to live humbly. Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you— protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.” Zephaniah 2:3 NLT
Observation:
Zephaniah says here for those who are humble to seek the Lord and follow His commands. He tells them to do what is right and humble. Then, perhaps the Lord will protect them from His anger. He was pronouncing judgment in this book, but here tells them how to avoid judgment. Humility and trying to do what is right always avert God’s judgment.
Application:
Humility and a hear to please God are the two most powerful things we can possess in walking with the Lord. He resists the proud and gives much grace to the humble. We must revere Him and fear Him above everything and everyone else. He is worthy of our obedience and humility before Him. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Prayer:
Father, let my life bring You glory and honor. Teach me to walk with You in humility. Help me to serve You well in my generation. I long to hear well done when I see Your face. Help me to demonstrate Your truths and Your ways to the people of God.
Forever Yours,
Jeff
