Here are additional verses from Zephaniah that I want to explore. I'll do that over the next few days. I may post on them or not. Depends on where my explorations take me.
Zephaniah 1:7 Be silent before the Sovereign LORD,
for the day of the LORD is near.
The LORD has prepared a sacrifice;
he has consecrated those he has invited.
for the day of the LORD is near.
The LORD has prepared a sacrifice;

Zephaniah 1:12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who are complacent,
who are like wine left on its dregs,
who think, 'The LORD will do nothing,
either good or bad.'

who think, 'The LORD will do nothing,

Zephaniah 2:3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land,
you who do what he commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be sheltered
on the day of the LORD's anger.
you who do what he commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be sheltered

Zephaniah 2:11 The LORD will be awesome to them
when he destroys all the gods of the land.
The nations on every shore will worship him,
every one in its own land.

Zephaniah 3:9 "Then will I purify the lips of the peoples,
that all of them may call on the name of the LORD
and serve him shoulder to shoulder.

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."

Zephaniah 3:19 At that time I will deal
with all who oppressed you;
I will rescue the lame
and gather those who have been scattered.
I will give them praise and honor
in every land where they were put to shame.

I will give them praise and honor

Zephaniah 3:20 At that time I will gather you;
at that time I will bring you home.
I will give you honor and praise
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes
before your very eyes,"
says the LORD.
Lord God, Your Word is Holy and complete. It tells us everything we need to know.....to know You in the way You want us to know You. Help us to accept that it doesn't' tell us EVERYTHING. Thank You that it doesn't tell us everything lest we think too much of ourselves, that we don't need You. As I ponder these verses, help me see what You want me to see and get the message You want me to get as well as any message that You want others to get as a result of my thoughts. You are amazing, Father. Amen.
