Seek the LORD, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden In the day of the LORD's anger. - Zephaniah 2v3
As Zephaniah addresses the people on the Lord’s behalf he specifically addresses ‘the meek of the earth and those who uphold God’s justice.’ He advises them about what to seek in their lives.
Seek the Lord
Seek righteousness
Seek humility
It is amazing how that little list differs from what most of us seek after much of the time. Our normal list might more resemble this:
Seek possessions
Seek approval of others
Seek prestige and honour
When I look at those lists all I can do is be ashamed. We don’t think about them when we are doing it, but seeing it in black and white make the difference clear.
May God give me the strength and the wisdom to seek His list instead of mine.
