Zep 3:1 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city!
Zep 3:2 She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she does not draw near to her God.
Zep 3:3 Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning.
Zep 3:4 Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy; they do violence to the law.
Zep 3:5 The LORD within her is righteous; he does no injustice; every morning he shows forth his justice; each dawn he does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame.
The LORD God is within her; how so? I see the LORD in the framing of our constitution. There are quotes from the Bible on the monuments.
“Holiness to the Lord” “Search the Scriptures” “May Heaven to this Union continue its beneficence,” “Praise be to God” “In God We Trust” “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom and with all thy getting, get understanding”
There are the ten commandments in the supreme court and the laws of God dwell within His people who are called to witness His love and goodness. There is prayer going up within the city for God's mercy and grace and to overcome the evil and that which was stolen. Our prayers are for the city, the laws, the rulers and for justice and truth. I ask the Lord to be merciful to our nation, for there are many sins. May all who call on your name, repent and seek your mercy and grace, in the name of Jesus. Amen
