Zephaniah 1:12

Be hot or cold, not stagnant! We need to believe in God’s power not our own and seek His agenda not ours realizing that even misdirected passion is better than no passion at all. Our trust in Him and His Word protects us knowing that like a good father He provides for all our needs but He also will discipline us if we stray.  The measure that you trust in Him is the measure that you can receive from Him! He alone has the ability to protect us, even from ourselves.

The complacency of the people led them to believe that God is similarly complacent. Foolishly these people believed that the Lord would be inactive, neither blessing nor cursing, neither benefiting nor punishing His people.

Zephaniah 1:12                                                                        

12 “And it shall come to pass at that time

 That I will search Jerusalem with lamps,

 And punish the men          

 Who are settled in complacency,

 Who say in their heart,

 ‘The Lord will not do good,

 Nor will He do evil.’
