Daily Lectionary Readings for November 6, 2010
Psalm 59
Zephaniah 3:14-20
Revelation 18:1-14
Luke 14:1-11
Zephaniah 3:14-20
"The Lord has taken away the
judgments against you,
he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, the Lord, is in
you midst;
you shall fear disaster no more.(v.15)
Great reminder here - "The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more." This is similar to a theme I'll be highlighting tomorrow in worship from Haggai. In the Haggai passage the people are despondent and despairing about their future as symbolized by the temple. They have a memory of what it once was and they are pretty sure it can't be that again. They don't have the energy. They don't have the resources. They don't have the faith. Haggai's prophecy sounds very similar to Zephaniah's in pointing out to the people that whatever is against them, God is for them and really that is game, set and match. There is nothing better than knowing that God is with us.
