Opening Prayer: “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 rejoice over you with joyful songs.” (Zephaniah 3:16-17)
Scripture: Zephaniah 3:14-17
Journal: What song are you listening to today? Can you hear the song the Lord is singing over you? Why, or why not? What does his song do in you?
Reflection: “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.” (Zephaniah 3:17)
What song do you listen to each day? Do you listen to the song of those around you
who demand that you become like them? Do
you listen to the song of the voices within you who continually tell you that
you are not enough? Or do you listen to the
song of the One who made you and wants you to know the depths of his delight
and affection? Because the song you
listen to the most is the song that your life will sing to others.
Pray
Closing Prayer: “Is that a joyous choir I hear? No, it is the Lord himself exulting over you in happy song.” (Zephaniah 3:17, TLB) Listen to the song of delight and affection he is singing over you today.
