Today, I am reading and commenting on  Zephaniah and Haggai.

Zephaniah speaks out against those who serve gods other than God.  Especially, he warns that God will come in judgement against those who pay homage to Him while also worshiping and giving honor to other gods.  He condemns those who speak on behalf of God while following and promoting the rituals and practices of worship to other gods and various idols.  God will punish those who practice such things, and those who think that God will do nothing.  Zephaniah calls us to seek God, to seek righteousness, and to seek humility.  If we do those things God may shelter us when He shows His anger on the earth.  Haggai then speaks to those of us who wait until we get our stuff together before we do as we know the Lord desires.  Let us seek to do God’s will now, let us seek righteousness and humility.  We should not wait until we think we have gotten our lives together, but act now.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
