Zephaniah 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden In the day of the Lord’s anger.
In the verse above, Zephaniah is calling sinful Judah to repentance. They had pushed God out, and God was angry with them as a nation.
He was pleading with them to seek righteousness and humility, that it would help spare them from the Lord’s anger.
They were influenced by the world and no longer had a desire for God. They had become an undesirable nation; a shameless nation.
Zephaniah 2:1-2 (NKJV) 2 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O undesirable nation, 2 Before the decree is issued, Or the day passes like chaff, Before the Lord’s fierce anger comes upon you, Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you!
God calls us to refrain from getting caught up in the ways of the world.
We cannot let these things influence us. We must guard our hearts and make sure that we are staying true to God, always looking to Him for guidance and for His answers.
He wants us to lean on Him, to trust Him, rely on Him for everything!
The world will feed us its answers if we let it; whatever we want to hear, whatever feels good at the time.
It’s truly our decision to either walk out the word of God or walk in the ways of the world.
As Zephaniah pleaded with them to seek righteousness and humility, so does God call us to do the same.
We live in this world and although there are many temptations, God is right there, willing to help us turn from them if we are so willing to obey.
John 17:15-17 (NKJV) 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
Our prayer today is for God to keep us from the evil one. Help us seek righteousness and humility. May He sanctify us by His truth. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.
