God’s Strengthening Word: Singing for Joy

DAY 20 OF 31

Introduction

Zephaniah 3:1–20: The prophet declares that Jerusalem’s judgment is assured. Still, the Lord will eventually restore the city, and its residents will be humble and righteous people. Today’s reading concludes with a song of joy, proclaiming an end to the people’s punishment.

Today’s Key Verse: Zephaniah 3:17b GNT

The LORD will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life.

Reflect

What does Zephaniah say about the leaders of the people? In what ways have they misused their power? Why will Jerusalem and the people of Israel celebrate once again? On what occasions are songs of celebration sung in your community of faith?

Pray

I sing and shout for joy, Lord God, because you are always with me. Your love revives my soul, and I trust in your care. I will praise your holy name forever. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Luke 1:1–25: The birth of John the Baptist is announced.
