July 24th

Zephaniah 1


 17 “I will bring such distress on all people
   that they will grope about like those who are blind,
   because they have sinned against the LORD.
Their blood will be poured out like dust
   and their entrails like dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
   will be able to save them
   on the day of the LORD’s wrath.”
   In the fire of his jealousy
   the whole earth will be consumed,
for he will make a sudden end
   of all who live on the earth.

We recently visited Pompeii.  The terrible destruction was palpable.  There was one man that died trying to escape with a bag of gold and silver coins.  They laid with his bones for centuries and weren't any help at all.  So it is with all of us who trust in our riches rather in God.
