Zephaniah 3:17 says, The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
There is a name written beside that verse.
I stepped out of my familiar box tonight. Made a decision that I might regret in the morning. Not because it was wrong (I very strongly felt the Lord leading me to do it), but because fears have a way of becoming stronger with time.
But after reading that verse in Zephaniah, listening to Watermark’s new cd, and a thought-filled drive back from Anderson tonight… I am left with the impression that stepping out of the box is sometimes necessary.
You repair all that we have torn apart
And You unveil a new beginning in our hearts
And we stand grateful for all that has been left behind
And all that goes before us
We will dance as you restore the wasted years
And You will sing over all our coming fears
And we’ll stand grateful for all that has been left behind
And all that goes before us
Lord, You mend the breech
And You break every fetter
And You give us Your best
For what we thought was better
And You are to be praised…
