Zephaniah 3:16b-17
16 … “Fear not, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak. 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.
God commands us, “let not your hands grow weak.” I don’t want to be slow or weak in the work I do for the Kingdom. I want strong hands that know their work. I want to have a bricklayer or a shepherd’s hands as we build God’s house and care for His people. How do we work without growing weak?
We have the Lord. Our work won’t be in vain, He is in our midst and He will save. He doesn’t stand among us like a task master, waiting on our missteps with a whip. He rejoices over us with gladness. He doesn’t allow our weeping and pain to continue forever; He will quiet us with His love. He rejoices over you with LOUD singing. Look at His love and work joyfully!
Prayer prompt: Lord, teach me to work hard because I see Your joy over me.
