This may be news to you, it was to me, but there’s a Book of Zephaniah in The Bible. I wrote to my sister today that I don’t have to write a book because Zephaniah already has. But all kidding aside. I went to the source. I wanted to see what the Book of Zephaniah entailed. The language alternates between what they say and what I say in regards to today.
The unjust knoweth no shame. – Zephaniah 3:5
Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek 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. – Zephaniah 2:3
I don’t know that I believe there will come a time when the Lord comes to clear us all out, but I certainly see the world tempting destruction today. For me to save myself I’ll need to live as I was raised in both church and home. To love and forgive.
This is both the smallest and biggest order for me. And for us all. It’s not enough to pay lip service to love, we need to act it out. It’s not enough to just say you love you have to actually live love.
I’m going to try and do better. I want to start getting involved with writing letters and publicly protesting things that are antithetical to every fiber of my being. I love everyone, even those I disagree with. I need to live it out.
