Zephaniah 3:17 For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song. You know, it’s a little scary to read all the prophecy books, because there are some definite similarities between our nation (American) and the nations that God is angry with for their pride, arrogance and cruelty. A lady at the grocery store where I was checking out told me that they’ve started removing “In God We Trust” from the money that’s being printed! I haven’t noticed it, but it (sadly) wouldn’t surprise me too much. We have become arrogant enough to trust in ourselves and declare it to the world! Ah, but these words are beautiful. They’re soothing after all the destruction of the prophecies. I can only imagine the beauty of God’s voice singing! I think of the most beautiful voices I know (Emmy Rossum, Sarah Brightman, Kari Jobe, to name a few) and it’s even more amazing than that! I love how His love calms my fears. He is glad of us! And, so, despite the depravity and chaos, there is hope and something to look forward to. As much as I love aspects of life, it will be a great day when God sings over me.
