Zephaniah 1:1-18

In the opening chapter of Zephaniah, he meticulously traces his lineage, a lineage that boasts of kings who were unwavering in their faith and devotion to God.

God has given time for man to repent because "the day of the Lord' will soon come, suddenly "in a blinking of an eye." He has given us many warnings of his coming. He has provided a manual for us to live by. He is not quick to judge but great in mercies, for he does not want anyone to perish but that all have eternal life, as is referred to in John 3:16. God also, and very importantly, provided His son as the ultimate sacrifice for the redemption of our sins. 

So today, if you are far from God, come to him suddenly, for overthinking about your wealth or terrestrial things won't buy you a ticket to eternity. Only by knowing Jesus can you.
