It can be all too easy to neglect our calling both to walk in step with the Spirit and to live lives worthy of the Gospel we have received. Drawing upon God’s warning to Israel through the prophet Zephaniah, Alistair Begg admonishes us to fight spiritual paralysis in our day-to-day lives. When we search our hearts, consider our habits, and take practical steps toward living in communion and fellowship with God, we bear witness to His daily, sustaining grace.
1Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
fthe oppressing city!
2She listens to no voice;
gshe accepts no correction.
hShe does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
3iHer officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are jevening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
4kHer prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
kher priests lprofane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.
5The Lord within her mis righteous;
he does no injustice;
every morning he shows forth his justice;
each dawn he does not fail;
but nthe unjust knows no shame.
