There is Nothing to Fear

When you think about the future, what emotions come to mind? Worry? Fear? Anxiety? The Bible tells us much about the future and some of it can be pretty frightening and intense. What we have to remember, though, is that God does not give us a frightening picture of the future in order to paralyze us with fear. God gives us a frightening picture of the future as a reminder to us that He, as a Holy and just God, must bring judgement on the wicked and destroy evil. On the other hand, God may give us a frightening picture of the future, but he never leaves us with that picture. Instad, he always follows with a message of hope and salvation for the righteous.

When you read the book of Zephaniah, you might be left with a negative view of the future. If that is what happens, though, you've missed the whole point of the book. Zephaniah is a book of hope because we have nothing to fear about the future. God has made provisions to save the remnant who follow him. As is says in Zephania 3:14, those who trust in the name of the Lord will be saved.
