“I thought, ‘Surely she’ll honor me now,
accept my discipline and correction,
Find a way of escape from the trouble she’s in,
find relief from the punishment I’m bringing.’
But it didn’t faze her. Bright and early
she was up at it again, doing the same old things.

“Well, if that’s what you want, stick around.”
God’s Decree.
“Your day in court is coming,
but remember I’ll be there to bring evidence.
I’ll bring all the nations to the courtroom,
round up all the kingdoms,
And let them feel the brunt of my anger,
my raging wrath.
My zeal is a fire
that will purge and purify the earth.
Zephaniah 3:7-8 (MSG)

ReplyDeletedeborah, I pray you're right. It's hard to see how the current issues can go much farther forward without a catastrophic response of some sort, and almost nobody wants that.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you're welcome, as always.
