Today's Scripture *April 14, 2009*
Zephaniah 1: 12-14
“I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem’s darkest corners
To punish those who sit complacent in their sins.
They think the Lord will do nothing to them,
Either good or bad.
So their property will be plundered,
Their homes will be ransacked.
They will build new homes
But never live in them.
They will plant vineyards
But never drink wine from them.
“That terrible day of the Lord is near.
Swiftly it comes—
a day of bitter tears,
a day when even strong men will cry out.
Some people think of God as an indulgent heavenly grandfather, nice to have around but not a real force in shaping modern life. They don't believe in His power or His coming judgment. He will actively judge and justly punish everyone who is content to live in sin, indifferent to Him, or unconcerned about justice. When people are indifferent to God, they tend to think that He is indifferent to them, and their sin. They will be surprised to find the "terrible day of the LORD is near."
God we worship You! You are our Lord, and our eternal Savior.
Help us to show Your love to the people around us that they too might come to know You and be saved from the terrible day of judgment.
Put Your Word on our lips and in our hearts to share with others. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless you
April
