V.
The Prophet tells us to –

“Sing … shout … rejoice and exult with all your heart” (Zephaniah 3:14)

For what?

Isn’t there some object or precipitant for our rejoicing?

Read over this passage and pay attention for what Zephaniah tells us is worthy of our singing, shouting and rejoicing.

VI.
What do you notice?

Judgements taken away? Enemies turned away?

Certainly that would be reason enough to rejoice?

But are they the primary thing, the foundation for the singing and rejoicing?

Is there more? Maybe even something “deeper”?

What do you notice?

What gives you cause to sing, shout, rejoice and exult even today?
