—Zephaniah 3:1-7
by: Gem Barton.
The prophet Zephaniah witnessed disobedience among the leadership of Israel—even the priests had polluted the sanctuary. World leaders and, in many instances, church leaders who are disobedient to God’s Word still exist. The prophet said something profound, which is very important and still relevant today. He said, “The Lord is righteous in her midst” (v.5, NKJV). We can be assured that God’s justice will always come to light and will give us the peace we require, even when our leadership is not complying with His commandments. God is mighty to save, and He alone can deliver us.
