Destruction will come to all that attach themselves to sin, regardless of the nation. Zephaniah’s message embraces the same truth today. But there is a way to avoid being slain by the sword of the Lord. It comes with a price; self-pride must be cut off. We are advised to humbly seek the Lord. God will purify the lips of the people so that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him shoulder to shoulder. God gives us promises that extend beyond the boundaries of our neighborhoods, reaching into the Dai neighborhoods as well. God’s Word says that the nations on every shore will worship Him, everyone in his own land. Father, give this encouragement to Shan Dai leaders who seek to live in purity and reach out to their neighbors with the good news of living life immersed in God. The same God who is capable of devastating justice is also mighty to save. Our God is also a God of gentle loving care. Have you experienced this week how the Lord takes great delight in you? Have you felt His nearness as He seeks to quiet you with His love? “For the LORD your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs” (Zephaniah 3:17). Father, we pray that we and the Shan Dai will hear Your voice as You rejoice over us with singing.
