"From beyond the rivers of Cush my worshipers, daughters of my dispersed ones, shall bring my offering"
-Zephaniah 3:10
That's me! God is talking about me! I have been chosen, and I love to be reminded of my place in the inheritance. Sometimes I do find myself feeling like a slightly less legitimate child of God...sort of like a step-child. In reality, though I am adopted into the Kingdom, I am loved. I am chosen. God has purposed for me to be His from the beginning. I am one of those called "my worshipers" and "daughters of my dispersed ones". Praise the Lord!! The earth is ripe for the harvest, so go and tell. Do you hear that, self, go and tell!!
Another goody in Zephaniah is 3:5: "The Lord within her is righteous; he does no injustice; every morning he shows forth his justice; each dawn he does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame."
Everyday the Lord is revealed. Each dawn He does not fail. If those aren't words to live by...
This whole book is about God condemning His people because of their wickedness. His says a remnant shall remain, but for the most part, none of them are humble and lowly enough to be worthy of Him. He's tried to show them and to warn them, but they never paid him no nevermind, so He's coming to do justice. I talked the other day about God's perfect justice that will always be done, even to His own. There is no escape for the wicked. He does no injustice.
Each dawn He does not fail. Here it is, a little after dawn, and God has not failed!!
