Zephaniah 3:14-17 (CSB) 14 Sing for joy, Daughter Zion; shout loudly, Israel! Be glad and celebrate with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! 15 The LORD has removed your punishment; he has turned back your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is among you; you need no longer fear harm. 16 On that day it will be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, do not let your hands grow weak. 17 "The LORD your God is among you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will be quiet in his love. He will delight in you with singing."

This verse was given to me during service today. God used it to encourage my heart and I shared it with one of the teens. Take some time today to ponder it over. God has removed our punishment! God has turned back our enemy! God is among us! God is a warrior who saves! God will rejoice over us with gladness! God will be quiet in His love! God will delight over us with singing! I think God is well pleased with us!
