—Zephaniah 3:1-7
by: Paula Davis.
The Lord loves us as his children. He hurts when we do wrong and, especially, when we rebel against him. How much more must it hurt when we hear him speak to us and turn the other way, paying no attention to the lessons the Lord is teaching us along the way. If we accept his correction, we will not bring about his punishment. As Jerusalem in this passage, if we pay no heed to the Lord’s teachings and correction, he will have no choice but to bring punishment down upon us.
