From the Book of Zephaniah

Truth Zephaniah Teaches

Growing in Godliness:

The sin of pride is most often revealed by the words that we speak. Language becomes unclean with repeated expressions of self-will, or the profane use of God’s name.

Action Zephaniah invites:

3:9-13: Purity your heart and your speech will be pure also. Allow God to purify your lips and language.

Billy Graham’s Quotes

. “The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.”

. “God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.”

. “I've read the last page of the Bible, it's all going to turn out all right.”

. “It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love.”

From the Book of Habakkuk

Truth Habakkuk Teaches

Step to Dynamic Devotion:

God requires that we make our relationship with Him our highest priority, that we bring our deepest questions and turmoil’s before Him, expecting His answers and guidance.

Action Habakkuk Invites:

2:1 – Set aside a regular time and place that is holy to the Lord. Spend time listening for His Word as you read, study, and mediate on Scripture. Be faithful in daily prayer.

2:2-3 – Document those things the Lord speaks to you or quickens to your heart, Record biblical promises He makes alive to you, and hold fast to them, knowing they will to pass.

Thoughts 

. Upheaval often precedes spiritual progress.

. To be rich in God is far better than to be rich in goods.
. The Bible teaches that God chose not to give us what we desire--we call that mercy. In addition, He decided to give us exactly what we don’t deserve --and that’s grace.
