CALM

Your God is present among you, a strong Warrior there to save you. Happy to have you back, he’ll calm you with his love and delight you with his songs.  Zephaniah 3:17

God is present.

God is fighting for you.

He will calm you with his love.

Let’s take a deep breath and soak in these truths.

Present?  He is right here, right beside you, living inside you. He is committed to you with all of his heart, and he isn’t going anywhere.  

A strong Warrior? A mighty warrior who is fighting for you, right now. He is infinitely powerful and determined to save you. He is more than able to take charge of the battle you are facing, and he will bring you victory.

He calms you?  Deeply. Not with advice, not with reminders, not with suggestions, but with true compassion. He wraps you up in his loving arms, he helps you breathe with him, he looks at you with his warm, caring eyes and reassures you of his love.

The peace that Jesus covers you with is rich with tenderness and strength. He can gently sing over you and valiantly fight for you at the same time–revealing a love that conquers all.

Stand firm: His delight in you is genuine. He is with you right this minute, keeping you protected and close to him. Rest calmly in his arms–even in the heat of the battle–and you might even begin to hear him singing. He’s got you.
