THE PATIENCE OF THE LORD
Today's reading: Zephaniah
"Surely they will have reverence for me now!.." Zephaniah 3:7 NLT
If you look through the pages of time's history, you will undoubtedly see times when God's patience is the only thing that spared humankind from complete obliteration.
You will recall events that will have not doubt brought believers, and unbelievers alike, to their knees in desperation, in need, in awe or in fear.
Natural disasters. Man-induced attrocities. World-wide fears.
You will bring to mind wars or plights that left the strongest nations toppled, the most politically backed kings dethroned and the business world gasping for air.
Civil wars. World wars. Racial wars. Church disputes.
Opportunities God chose to use to send folks to their knees in reverence for Him, scurrying to find hope in Him and thirsting for Him.
Surely...He must have said on numerous occasions...Surely, they will turn to Me now.
