0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.
0:05.7	Zephaniah chapter two, verse three, seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his
0:11.6	just commands, seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the
0:18.2	anger of the Lord. This is one of those verses. It's just so clear for how we should pray for our
0:25.2	lives, for others lives, and specifically in light of what's at stake. Seek the Lord, all you
0:31.8	humble of the land, who do his just commands, seek righteousness, seek humility. So we're going to
0:35.4	pray that in light of this reality. Perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.
0:41.5	This picture of God's coming, holy, just anger and wrath, a fallen world toward fallen sinful
0:50.8	men and women, who we need to seek the Lord. Obviously we know this drives us straight to Jesus,
0:57.3	the only one who has fully kept God's just commands, the only righteous one, the one who humbled

1:25.7	in him, to live with his justice flowing through us, his righteousness flowing through us, his
1:31.8	humility in us. God, we seek you right now based on your word in Zephaniah two, three. We seek you,
1:39.3	our Lord. We need you. We want you. We desire you. We want to know you. We want to love you. We
1:46.2	want to follow and obey you. We want to worship you. We want to fear you. God, we seek you. We humble
1:52.5	ourselves before you. May we be the humble of the land. God, may that be us. Remove all pride
1:59.2	from us. We pray. We seek humility. We want humility. We need humility. Less of us, none of us,
2:06.2	more of you, all of you. May you become greater. May we become less. We want to die to ourselves
2:12.2	today, just like you have told us to, just to deny ourselves daily, to take up our cross daily.
2:17.9	We want to do your just commands. Gotta help us to do all your just commands. We praise you that
