Hey bible readers. I'm Ms. Emily and this is the Bible recap for kids. It's that time again, Bible readers.

Seven Day Roundup.
[00:16]
A
First, let's zoom out. This week we wrapped up our 24th book. In the short book of Zephaniah and the first 22 chapters of Jeremiah, we read the prophets of God's judgment of Judah. These are hard passages to read, but remember, God has been patient with his people for generations and he has sent so many warnings about their sin. And even though most of Judah is disobeying God, we also saw the beautiful promise that he'll preserve a remnant of them and keep his covenant and bless the whole world. Let's review that 24th book, big picture Zephaniah. The people of Southern Judah continue to break their covenant with God. Zephaniah urges them to repent because the day of the Lord is coming. There will be judgment for those who rebel against God and blessing for those who follow him. We had one new one and reviewed one old one. These were our words to remember.

A remnant is a remaining group or a group that is left over. Sin is anything we say, think or do that displeases God.

Before we go, let's think about an application. It's easy to get frustrated or even angry with the Israelites for their sin and refusal to repent. But what about our own? What about when we lie or cheat or leave people out or speak unkindly or disobey our parents? When it comes to sin, we should be angry at our own sins and we should be heartbroken over others sins. Take some time to pray to God today, confessing your sin to Him. Ask him to show you when you sin and to always keep your heart soft toward Him.
