Seeking Righteousness and Humility
Read Zephaniah 2:3
Today’s Truth
In the middle of these promises of judgment, we see this command, this invitation, this call to seek the Lord. All you humble of the land, who do his just commands. Seeking the Lord, doing justice, doing the just commands of God, those go together. Seeking the Lord. All you humble of the land. So humility, justice, obedience, seek righteousness, to seek the Lord is to seek righteousness, seek humility. Humility comes up again.
