14 Cry out with joy, O daughter of Zion; rejoice, O people of Israel! Sing joyfully with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem! 15 The Lord has lifted your sentence and has driven your enemies away. The Lord, the King of Israel is with you; do not fear any misfortune. 16 On that day, they will say to Jerusalem: Do not be afraid nor let your hands tremble, 17 for the Lord your God is within you, the Lord, saving warrior. He will jump for joy on seeing you, for he has revived his love. For you he will cry out with joy, as you do in the days of the feast.
---- mine,
These are the days, this is the time in your life when, despite all the circumstances of your life and all that is happening with you and those you love, it is a time for praising and thanking Me, the Lord your God. For you have the sure knowledge that I AM fighting your battles for you, and you are victorious. Keep your gaze on the prize and on the goal. God is with you. God has come to you. God lives in you, God's mighty protection surrounds you. The Enemy has no power over you for I have claimed each of you as My own. Rejoice, this is the time to sing songs of praise for all that I, the Lord, your God, have done for you in the past, all that I AM doing for you now, and all that I will do for you always. Fear has no place in love. What need of fear when you have the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings stooping low over you, loving you, caring for you, speaking to you, encouraging you, helping you, feeding you, and when necessary carrying you? Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice because God is with you, God saves you, the Anointed One has declared that I AM for you, and if I AM for you, who can be against you?
