Key Scripture: “He will rejoice over you
with gladness. He will quiet you with His love.
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17
Power Point:
Before Jesus came, there was no song of
hope in the earth. In fact, no one had
heard the voice of God for over 400 years.
There was extreme poverty. There
was oppression. Disease was rampant, and the people were bound by laws that
were impossible to keep. They were
slaves. They were without hope, without
dreams and without a future, and definitely, without God in the world.
The
coming of Jesus turned everything upside down didn’t it? When He closed His
eyes for that final time on earth, He opened our eyes to a heaven that was now available for everyone
who would take the time to find the door.
Every moment, every detail of His life, emphasized God's plan for those
who would find the door to His kingdom.
Instead
of poverty, He offered generous provision as He did at the feeding of the 5000.
Instead of disease He offered healing. Instead of shunning lepers, He touched
them. Instead of the law He offered His grace and mercy. Instead of slavery He offered freedom.
Instead of chaos, He offered His Perfect Peace.
When you hear people wondering what God's will
is, you might remind them to go back and read through the life of Jesus. His
life is a symphony of the love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, kindness and
faithfulness that He desires to sing into our lives. His great heart is to sing those notes to
every one, but only a few will listen for them.
Those songs are sung over you every day by
your heavenly Father who is breathless with anticipation over what you will
allow Him to do next in your life. It’s
time to turn up the volume don’t you think?
What
glorious songs He sings over those who come to Him with all their hearts.
Power Thought:
He
preserves you from trouble.
He
surrounds you with songs of deliverance.
