Zephaniah 2:3 ” Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what He commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the Day of the Lord’s anger.”

This verse challenges all Believers to seek the Lord even more earnestly with humility, righteousness, prayer, and obedience. It’s a timeless call for all Christians to purse, with serious intent, a right relationship with God… no matter how wonderful we think it is right now. But the interesting word that Zephaniah uses in this verse is “perhaps”…a tentative word that expresses both Zephaniah’s hope that the humble remnant will find refuge from the Lord’s wrath, but also implies his pessimism that the “shameless nation of Judah will actually seek God and repent.”
