"The Lord within her is righteous; He does no wrong. Morning by morning He dispenses His justice, and every new day He does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame." (Zephaniah 3:5, NIV)
This is a pronouncement on Jerusalem. It could, however, be a pronouncement on many cities around the world, but today it is Minneapolis. Martin King would be appalled, so too Gandhi, all the historic leaders whom "peace" advocates admire.
The first four verses of chapter 3 speak of, "city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled! She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord, she does not draw near to her God." Today, Minneapolis is just a reflection of The United States of America, which outlawed the Prayer of Jesus (1962), and His Words (1963), and continues on the path to, "oppressors, rebellious and defiled..., obeys no one,..no correction...Does not trust in the Lord...."
"If My People, who are called by My Name, will...seek My Face,"(daily, and not just once a year, monthly, or weekly), "....then I will...," saith the Lord Jesus Christ.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray to be a daily, moment by moment, "seek My Face," follower of Jesus. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
