It's amazing the way God works sometimes...
We have no idea how He is going to speak to us next or how He is going to get our attention.
After months of what seemed like utter silence, I am finally learning to hear His voice. I am finally learning to read His word and what it means for ME.
Today I found Zephaniah 3:17-18.
It was a scripture that I had read in the past, but it wasn't until today that I fully grasped its meaning. And it wasn't until I read this particular translation that the words pierced my heart and caused much rejoicing!
Here is what The Message has to say in Zeph. 3:17-18...
Your God is present among you,
a strong Warrior there to save you.
Happy to have you back, he'll calm you with his love
and delight you with his songs.
The accumulated sorrows of your exile
will dissipate.
I, your God, will get rid of them for you.
You've carried those burdens long enough.
Oh, how He loves us, indeed! How long it has taken me to recognize this truth!
I am changed! God now truly OWNS my heart!
I AM my beloved's and HE IS MINE! My heart sings a new song to my Lord! What a perfect way to exit the past year and enter the new one!
