Zephaniah 3:17
For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty Saviour. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
Fear stalks our streets like a pack of hungry wolves.
Fear of the virus, fear of poverty, fear of unemployment, fear of the future, fear of violence, fear of terrorism....
In the midst of all this fear, we have Jesus, living in our hearts, as believers.
This wonderful promise states that He (Jesus Himself) will calm our fears with His Love. Moreover He will rejoice over us with singing.
It puts me in mind of my dear mum, coming to me, when I was young, afraid in the middle of the night.
She would quickly respond to my cries and settle me down with her loving presence and sing me a lullaby.
As adults we don't like to admit to being scared, but no one is exempt from fear of some kind.
No one can comfort like the Saviour. No one can cast that fear away like Him.
These are days to cling to Him like never before.
He's our Rock amid the sinking sands of life - where fear tries to suck faith from our spirits.
Hold tight to Him, shut out the noise of the enemy and you will hear His song, rejoicing over your life!
