Zephaniah 2:1-3
GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
A Call for Judah to Turn Away From Sin
2 Gather yourselves together!
Yes, gather together, you shameless nation,
2 before the decree is carried out
and the day passes like windblown husks,
before the Lord’s burning anger comes to you,
before the day of the Lord’s anger comes to you.
3 Search for the Lord, all you humble people in the land
who carry out his justice.
Search for what is right.
Search for humility.
Maybe you will find shelter on the day of the Lord’s anger.

Lord many in this world fall short of what you have called us to be. There is lots of violence toward each other, mean talk toward each other, people just plain being evil to one another. Father i pray for revival around the world. Strengthen us beleivers so that we might be light to those around us. Bless those already speeking the good word in though places. give them strength and an open audience to receive the word. Lord i too fall short of your expectations. if there be any offensive way in me lord remove it, that i might be an example of your grace to all those i encounter. Give me the strength and words to say when confronted with a person who is living far apart from you. Give me the words to say to reach that specific individual!
in your name i pray, amen
Thanks for your words and for keeping to bring the Word of God to us brother.
