Zephaniah 3:17 - 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.
The book of Zephaniah is a prophetic book and speaks to us of "The Day of the Lord", the day when Christ will again come.
This post will be very short as we seem to be on very sacred ground. Has not God revealed a great part of his character here? Do not these words stir in us awe, wonder, hope, and a great inner touch?
I have never before considered that God might sing over us, with loud singing! Who can read these words without being deeply, and profoundly moved?
Our culture has ruined the word awe, but here is its original meaning: a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder.
What must God singing loudly over us be like?
I am completely mute and awestruck. Come, Lord Jesus, come!
