Rejoice Over You

Zephaniah
The Lord is pronouncing judgement on Judah, then on the nations, then on Jerusalem.  He talks about what is going to happen on His day of judgement.  Then God also says that He will change the nations so that they worship Him.  And He says that those who seek refuge in Him among the Israelites will be safe.  While speaking about Israel's restoration He speaks one of my favorite verses, "The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing."

Revelation 10
Yesterday in the reading there were three plagues told about that will come on the earth.  They sound pretty scary.  Today, John saw another angel with a small scroll.  The voice from heaven told him to take the scroll from the angel.  So he went and told the angel that he needed the scroll and the angel told him that he must eat it.  He was told that it would taste sweet like honey, but then it would be bitter in his stomach, and so it was.

Psalm 138
David is the writer and he is giving thanks to God for many things.  He says at the end, "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever."

Proverbs 30:11-14
These verses give some examples of unrighteous living.

Serbia
This country is divided into two areas, one of which is Kosovo.  There is much tension between the two provinces, mostly because of religious differences that have caused many problems in the past.  Serbians are mostly Christians, while Kosovo has a mostly Muslim population.   Pray for peace.
