“But I will leave with you the meek and humble, who trust in the name of the Lord. The remnant of Israel will do no wrong; they will speak no lies, nor will deceit be found in their mouths. They will eat and lie down, no one will make them afraid.” (Zephaniah 3:12, 13 NIV) Forward Friday! I picture blue states holding a small teddy bear, with a big teddy bear waiting for their people, if only Governors would stop their foolishness and repent.

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord as spoken.” (Isaiah 1: 18-20 ESV) Motivating Monday, Good news or bad news first?
