Zephaniah 3
Zephaniah is yet another prophet or messenger from God whose job it is to deliver a message warning Judah (and the whole world) about impending punishment for its sin. Zephaniah also delivers a message for hope for God's anger does not last. He restores.
This is a message believers should deliver to all the earth. God detests sin and we exist to glorify God. Yet, we have a God who is slow to anger, abounding in love.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who is slow to anger and abounding in love. You punish, yet You restore. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love. I daily miss the mark. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. v17
