August 20
Introduction
The prophet Zephaniah preached in the latter part of the seventh century B.C. In today’s reading a day of doom and destruction is threatened when the people of Judah will be punished for worshiping other gods.
Scripture Reading
Zephaniah 1:1-18
Today’s Key Verse: Zephaniah 1:14a
The great day of the LORD is near—very near and coming fast!
Reflect
What is the LORD’s message to Zephaniah? Reread verses 4-9. What reasons are given for the people’s punishment? How is “the great day of the LORD” described (verses 14-18)? What were your thoughts when you read this message?
Pray
Almighty God, you alone are God and I worship you. Draw me close to you and keep me in your care. I seek to serve you always. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who have turned away from God
Tomorrow’s Reading
Zephaniah 2:1-15: Zephaniah declares that the LORD will punish Judah’s enemies.
