"This
is the Word that the Lord spoke to Zephaniah" (Zephaniah 1:1).
Straightaway, our attention is drawn away from the prophet to the Lord -
"The Lord spoke His Word" (Zephaniah 1:1). How are we to hear the Word
of the Lord? - "Be silent in the presence of the Almighty Lord"
(Zephaniah 1:7). How can we hear what the Lord is saying to us, if we're
too busy speaking? We must listen to God, if we are to hear what He is
saying to us. What we hear from the Lord may not be what we want to
hear. It will be what we need to hear. He speaks to us His Word of
judgment so that we might see ourselves as sinners and come to Him for
salvation.
