VERSE:
   The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will
take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will
rejoice over you with singing.
    -- Zephaniah 3:17

THOUGHT:
   God is with us! That's the great message of the story of Jesus
(Matt. 1:23). That's the message of hope Zephaniah gives the
defeated people of God. God is among us. He is mighty to save. He
loves us. He delights in us. He stills the storms of our hearts
with his loving touch. He sings us lullabies of joy. God longs to
be close to us and invites us to draw near. What will your response
be?

PRAYER:
   Father, strengthen my resolve as I turn away from evil and seek
to draw near to you. I don't want any imitation relationship with
you. I don't want some artificial symbol of you. I want to know
you. I want to experience your presence and to be used as your tool
of grace in the lives of others. I need your presence to settle the
disquietude of my soul. Thank you for being near. In Jesus' name I
pray. Amen.
