What God says

Third posting of robbery incident...

Zephaniah 3:16-20 New Living Translation
...Cheer up Zion! Don't be afraid! For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears.(He will be silent in His love or He will renew you with his love.) He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. I will gather you who mourn for the appointed festivals; you will be disgraced no more. And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you. I will save the weak and helpless ones; I will bring together those who were chased away. I will give glory and fame to my former exiles, wherever they have been mocked and shamed. On that day I will gather you together and bring you home again. I will give you a good name, a name of distinction, among all the nations of the earth, as I restore your fortunes before their very eyes. I, the Lord, have spoken!"

It's amazing to me that as I read through the minor prophets that I happen to "stumble" upon these words. It's as if God Himself knew of my predicament and my need and He is there and He is Here right now speaking LIFE over me and my family. Why someone doesn't follow God baffles me.
