Thursday's Thoughts: Fear Not, O Zion!



"When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed;
 and when he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed."
(Exodus: 17:11)


When Moses lifted up his hands in prayer Israel prevailed over her enemies.

"In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear not, O Zion.
Let not your hands sink down or be slow and listless.

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior, Who saves!
He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in silent satisfaction and in His love
He will be silent and make no mention of past sins, or even recall them;
He will exult over you with singing.

I will gather those belonging to you, the Israelites in captivity, who yearn
and grieve for the solemn assembly and the festivals, on whom their exile
and inability to attend services at Jerusalem have brought derision and
the reproach of it is a burden.

Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you; I will save
the limping ones and gather the outcasts and will make them a praise and
a name in every land of their shame.

At that time I will bring you in; yes, at that time I will gather you, for I
will make you a name and a praise among all the nations of the earth
when I reverse your captivity before your eyes, says the Lord."
(Zephaniah 3:17-20)



Israel behold your God!   Maranatha!
