ZEPHANIAH 3:14-20 - A Song of Joy
Sing aloud, O daughter Zion;
shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter Jerusalem!
The Lord has taken away the judgements against you,
he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
you shall fear disaster no more.
On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
Do not fear, O Zion;
do not let your hands grow weak.
The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
he will renew you in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing
as on a day of festival.
I will remove disaster from you,
so that you will not bear reproach for it.
I will deal with all your oppressors
at that time.
And I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change their shame into praise
and renown in all the earth.
At that time I will bring you home,
at the time when I gather you;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes
before your eyes, says the Lord.
---- mine,
You have made a total surrender of your life to Me today and this is My response to your loving act of surrender. Be consoled and comforted because this is My Word, My pledge, My assurance to you today. Rejoice, ---- mine, rejoice, for I the Lord your God who created you formed you, and loved you into being, have heard your prayer, and accepted your desire to belong to Me totally, utterly, without reserve. Be not afraid. Be still and know that I AM God and I will do for you and those you love all that this exultant daughter of Zion expresses in this song. Remember this day, time, and date when I have come to you and assured you that I AM God and I will take care of you and of everything - all is well with you My daughter, My sister, My bride for you are Mine.
