It can be easy to believe that some people, corporations, or even nations are so powerful that they could never fall apart. A quick history lesson, though, teaches us otherwise. Even in my own lifetime, I've seen examples from each category come to an end: Bin Laden, Enron, the USSR. What is powerful in man's eyes does not receive the same honor in the Lord's eyes. Zephaniah reminds us that the only way to be truly mighty is to be mighty in the Lord. When we submit ourselves to Him, then He becomes our strength. When we refuse to do so, then we are simply like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. From where does your strength come? Will the source of your strength survive?
