Introduction
Zephaniah urges the people of Judah to repent, and he declares that the nations surrounding Israel are doomed.
Scripture Reading
Zephaniah 2:1-15
Today’s Key Verse: Zephaniah 2:3a
Turn to the LORD, all you humble people of the land, who obey his commands. Do what is right, and humble yourselves before the LORD.
Reflect
If possible, consult a biblical map and see if you can identify the various nations that are mentioned in today’s reading. What punishments are to be inflicted on them? Why? What warning is given to a “city that is so proud of its own power” (verse 15)?
Pray
I turn to you, Lord God, and humble myself before you. Teach me to do what is right and to obey your commands. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Places in the world where people take pride in their own power
Tomorrow’s Reading
