Holding a feast with Him in our hearts, worshiping Him, loving Him, adoring Him, conscious of His presence continually- here is the instrument perfectly adjustes to the Master's touch.
~Zelma Argue~

The God of mercy is a holy God. In Zephaniah, He presents a choice - be holy or be judged. By His mercy, a righteous remnant would survive, and all who called upon Him, whether Jew or Gentile, would be blessed.

The book ends with the promise of the Christ to come, the same great hope that transforms the lives of men and woman of destiny today.

Zephaniah 3:5
The Lord is righteous in her midst,
He will do no unrighteousness.
Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He never fails,
But the unjust knows no shame.

God's love story stays faithfully with us, even in the midst of evil, in the midst of rebellion, in the midst of the most unpromising cir tances. When we believe His love is diminished, it is a sign there is something happening with us, not with Him.

God loved us as sinners. How much more does He care for us now! God perfects the things that concerns us. He is deeply interested in every detail of our life. God lavishes us with His love, never being absent, always giving to us without making us beg for His attention.
