We are invited to live in light of the future we have with God.

We can hear God’s voice speaking to us today.

Zephaniah initially proclaims God’s devastating judgment, then suddenly declares God’s forgiveness and promise. It is a theological movement foreshadowing what God does in Christ.

We often want to keep things controlled and comprehensible; but God works beyond our expectations.  We need to make room for mystery in life, to be receptive to the Spirit of God.

Although evil may rage on earth, there is a Judge on high.  God will ultimately bring justice.   We are called to be a part of God’s purposes on earth, trusting in the face of evil that good will prevail.

We find our real strength, as individuals and as a nation, in God.
