Would you take these words in and receive them with me? Before reading them just know that the words Zion, Israel or Jerusalem simply refer to the people of God or His Church, His body. Now take this in...that's right, dont' just read it...by faith, take it in like food for your soul:
"Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!
The LORD has taken away your punishment, He has turned back your enemy. The LORD, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.
On that day they will say to Jerusalem, "Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.
The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
I want the Word of God to be living in me every day. It's not just words on a page! It is alive to every believer who will ask the Lord to reveal Himself through it! As we were reminded today by a young minister friend at the office, head knowledge means nothing. It's not enough just to know about the Lord. The two men walking along the road to Emmaus in Luke 24 could talk up a storm "about" Jesus and who He was and what He had done, yet they didn't have faith to believe He was alive and they couldn't even recognize Him when He stood right before their very eyes! We need God to give us present day (today) revelation of Who He is; and we need to believe He IS with us. Every moment!
