Verses 17-19 in the third Chapter of Zephaniah describe the blessings of God’s presence, power, and protection to His people. Within these verses we see fully His love, hope, and restoration to those who trust in Him. It reminds us that God is ever present and mighty…not distant and indifferent. (Isaiah 12:6) In Hebrews 7:25, it tells us that God’s power is complete and mighty to save. Finally, God’s joy for us is deep and personal…His love and protection quiets our fears and brings us peace as He reveals His presence, power, and protection. (Psalm 131:2, Hebrews 13:5, I John 4:4, John 10:29)
