Zephania chapter 3 verse 17

the Lord your God is in your midst

a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will quiet

you by his love.

He will exult over you with loud singing.

Is that not an awesome verse?

God speaking to his people, especially when you think about how this chapter begins with God's pronouncement of judgment on all those who don't trust in him, who turn from him, who do injustice and work

iniquity and live in idolatry and pride before him and then there's a shift in

verse 14 just talking about how God will save those who look to him and trust in him.

And then you get to verse 17.

Let me just read it again, like this is obviously

God speaking to his people in the Old Testament through Zephania at this time, but just think like this is your God.

For all of you who are listening right now who have put your trust in Jesus

who've experienced his salvation and you have relationship with this God, you know this God, you walk with this God, you worship

this God, you love this God, you know him. And this is the way he speaks to his people.

The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save, he will rejoice over you with gladness.

This is how God speaks to his people.

He says, I will rejoice over you with gladness. I will

quiet you by my love. I will exalt over you with loud singing.

Oh God, we know you spoke these words

specifically to your people through Zephania thousands of years ago. But we also know that we are your sons and daughters through faith in Jesus all who have trusted in Him.
