Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands.  Seek to do what is right and to live humbly.  ~Zephaniah 2:3

~~~

Let's keep it simple today.  

God uses the Bible to speak to us, and to speak into us.  Today He is using Zephaniah to speak to us, and Z's words explaining the Lord's instruction are not difficult.  In fact, Zephaniah's words today are so simple that they are beautiful...and easy...and calming...and possible.

Seeking our Savior can be steeped in simplicity.  

Let it be so today, Lord.  Amen.

Are we ready?  Ready to be simple in our spirituality, and humble in our approach of our Savior?

Take a deep breath.  Exhale it slowly and let's be humble as we stumble toward the Lord today. 

Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands.  
Seek to do what is right and to live humbly.  ~Zephaniah 2:3

~~~ 

Seek the Lord, all who are humble...  ~~Zephaniah 2:3

We are seeking You, Lord.  We are coming to You...and searching for You...and seeking You today, Lord.

~~~

...all who are humble...

Make us humble today, Lord.  We are humbly coming before you, Father.

Forgive our pride..

Never let us blaspheme your holy Name, Lord. 

Get us out of the way and put us in Your way.  Humble us before You today, Lord.

Seek the Lord, all who are humble...  ~Zephaniah 2:3

~~~

...and follow his commands.  ~Zephaniah 2:3

Commands: we love to read your Word, Lord...Your commands.  Help us to go beyond reading and into following Your commands.

We long to read Your Word, Lord. 

Bring us back to Your Word, Father.

Boil away the distractions, the noise, the world, the non-essentials...and let us be humble and seek You and Your commands today, Father.

Show us how to follow your commands today, Lord. 

Through your Word and your commands, reveal to us how to walk in Your ways. 

Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands.   ~Zephaniah 2:3

We seek You, Lord.  Help us to be humble and to follow Your commands today.

Seek to do what is right and to live humbly.  ~Zephaniah 2:3

Lord, we can discern what is right and what is wrong today.  You remind us to seek to do what is right (Zephaniah 2:3).  

Your terms are simple.  Your instruction is easy to understand.  

And the rest...is up to us.  
But, if we are humble (and we allow You...)...the rest is up to You.

Let's keep it simple today.  

Take a deep breath.  Exhale it slowly and let's be humble as we stumble toward the Lord today. 

Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands.  
Seek to do what is right and to live humbly.  ~Zephaniah 2:3

Blessings,

It’s never too late to turn to the Lord.   And--it’s never too late to turn back to the Lord.   Do we GET IT?   King Hezekiah GOT IT.   The people in his area (Israel) had not been following the Lord, and they had fallen away from the (God-ordained) traditions that the Lord had designed to connect His people with Himself,  like going to church (Temple), and like celebrating the festival of Passover.  So they sent a proclamation throughout all Israel...inviting everyone to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover of the  Lord , the God of Israel. The people had not been celebrating it in great numbers as required in the Law ( 2 Chronicles 30:5). Hezekiah  invited the people back to church!  But how to get the word out? He  wrote letters of invitation to the people (2 Chronicles 30:1), but letters without delivery are dead messages.  Hezekiah needed to get the letters ... to God's people! At the king’s command, runners were...

Ever been around boys (of any age)?  They don't concern themselves with talking about   other  boys...they are not (usually) comparative that way, and would prefer to be competitive instead.  They are often contented with jokes and sounds, rather than defaming other guys or discussing their shortfalls. But...ever been around women ( of any age )?  For some sinful reason, our conversations often seem to p ick-a-little, talk-a-little, pick some more and talk, talk, talk about other women.  We  simmer into a boil as we digress and regress into unbecoming chatter about   other  women.   It's a terrible habit and yet girls in elementary school don't need to be taught how and even elderly church biddies can't quite fully withdraw.  We all still fall to condemning others  from time to time.  We have this sinful draw to make ourselves feel good by chirping back and forth and making someone   else   feel bad. It's na...

The earth is the   Lord ’s, and everything in it.   The world and all its people belong to him.   (2)  For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas  and built it on the ocean depths.   ~Psalm 24:1-2 We belong to Him, but also…our world belongs to Him: and  everything in it .   Everything.   Every tree and flower, every person, every pelican, everything. How are we responding to that glorious Truth today?   Can we praise Him today?  Can we acknowledge and absorb (and respond!) to the awesome Truth that we belong to Him :  the Creator of all things, and our Creator?   He laid the earth’s foundation ...and (even)  the earth  knows that it belongs to him ... Do we? Are we choosing to respond to Him today?   The trees do.    Looking out my window as I read these words of God, I saw these words  proven by God as n aked tree-branch arms were raised in praise of their Creat...
