If you read the OT, specifically the books of the prophets, you discover, among the harsh judgements, the true desires God has for us. Humility, honesty, the desire to do right, to be just, and walk closely with God. God wants our hearts closely aligned with His; that way we can feed off His goodness and grace.
Gather together–yes, gather together,you shameless nation.2 Gather before judgment begins,before your time to repent is blown away like chaff.Act now, before the fierce fury of the Lord falls and the terrible day of the Lord’s anger begins.3 Seek the Lord, all who are humble,and follow His commands.Seek to do what is right and to live humbly.Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you–protect you from His anger on that day of destruction.
Zephaniah 2:1-3
