Though you may feel anxious and oppressed over the condition of our world, a day is coming when Jesus will wash away all of those feelings. I can assure you that all your fears are unfounded because of the promises of God’s mercy. The enemy is stirred and wreaking havoc on everyone, but we are saved, set aside, and loved beyond our comprehension. We have set our eyes upon the Lord and know where our help comes from. We can see His divine intervention in our lives, even when trouble abounds and we feel discouraged. He is our light at the end of the tunnel, and we can run to Him in our distress. He seems to pull us through magically, and we know He removed us from our tribulation and set us high upon his mountain so we can see the calamity left in our wake. What a gracious and wonderful God we have; He sees us not as we are but as His loving children. God is with us, and he rejoices over us with singing. Can you feel it? The following verse is my all-time favorite because it shows God’s passion for us and His love. It brings tears to my eyes every time I read it. There is no end to His love. We are blessed.

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
