Day 209: Zephaniah 3:2

"She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord, she does not draw near to her God." ~Zephaniah 3:2, NIV

This is a description of Israel. She's not doing anything to conquer her fear or to live a life of righteousness. In fact, verse 1 says "Woe!" to this state of existence.

Conclusion: do the opposite of what this verse literally says. This would be to,

Obey all authorities, accept rebukes and correction. Trust in the Lord, better yet, draw near to your God.

There. Now we have a command - a course of action we must follow. Check out the rest of Zephaniah 3 for more!
