What Do You Seek?

O. T. #2244 "What Do You Seek?"

July 27, 2022

Zephaniah 2

Seek ye the LORD, all ye of the earth, which have wrought His judgment: seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger. (verse 3)

LET IT GLOW

Our God has an agenda for nations, cities, families, and individuals; He holds everyone accountable to it. Judah had ample warning, so they had no excuse when God's judgment came in the form of Babylon. What did God tell them to do?

• Pray together.
• Beg to be saved.
• Humbly do what is right.

Yet Judah would not.

LET IT GROW

We know that some Jews remained faithful to God and would not bow down to the pagan gods. (Daniel and the 3 Hebrew boys)

Today, we are warned that God's final day of judgment is coming. We can't use the excuse that no one told us.

We should:

• Pray for forgiveness of sin.
• Ask God to bring us into His heavenly kingdom.
• Humbly obey Him.

Will we be like the Israelites in the exodus generation and accept the Lord's protection? Or will we be like the Egyptians then and reject the message of judgment to their own destruction?

LET IT GO 

God, You alone are faithful. 

Look into our hearts and cleanse it of our sins with the blood of Jesus.
