"At that time, I will deal with all who oppressed you. I will rescue the lame; I will gather the exiles." - Zephaniah 3:19
The central idea of this verse, for me, is that God promises to rescue those who are lame. Of course this could relate to a physical disability, but in the context of Israel, it was a nation who had lost the ability to "run" at full strength. Their lives had been completely changed through their oppression, and they had become lame, wounded and even spiritually paralyzed.
At this time of the year, there are many people who feel that their ability to function has been hampered and even crippled. Circumstances can leave us feeling very downcast and our fears can paralyze us.
If this is you, then please re-read the words of Zephaniah 3. Remember God's promise to rescue you and that Jesus is God's Divine rescue plan.
May the coming of Jesus change your life today.
Living in grace
