Humility

The April 29 lesson from 1 Peter 5:1-14 was “Act with Humility”. This week we have a lesson entitled “Humility” based on Zephaniah, which described the sin of Judah, their need to repent, and the coming Day of the Lord.

Kathryn Aragon’s commentary helps us see Judah’s unfaithfulness and disobedience as a form of pride, which connects the lesson passage to the topic of humility. She goes on to remind us of “our great value in the eyes of God”, which reminded me of Zeph 3:17, or the fact that the LORD will rejoice over His people with singing. Wow! I can’t wait to hear that song!

Members may not be ready Sunday to hear another lesson where God announces judgment on Judah and its surrounding nations. We have our work cut out for us this week! What is it today that members “can’t wait to hear?” See if you can come up with a top 10 list of “can’t wait to hear list.” Here are some starter ideas:

10. Hear Paris Hilton’s thoughts on mandatory minimum sentences
9. The sound of John McEnroe's voice
8. E.F. Hutton’s advice on surviving as a corporation
7.

1. Zephaniah’s prophecy about the Day of the Lord (see chapters 1 thru 3).
