Zephaniah 2

Zephaniah 2:3
Seek the LORD,
All you humble of the earth
Who have carried out His ordinances;
Seek righteousness, seek humility.
Perhaps you will be hidden
In the day of the LORD's anger.
A bit apocalyptic, but not inaccurate.  We are called to seek God, to be humble and righteous.  We are supposed to obey His commands and do the things He has told us to.

However, the reason here is insufficient.  Were this all we had, we'd think that all our good work may not be enough.  It's right, without Christ, but we also should remember that bad things can happen to good people.  Just because we obey God, it doesn't mean that we will be spared from all that happens in a fallen world.  We have to trust that no matter what happens, God will take care of us regardless, even if that means calling us home.
