DECEMBER 23 & 24, 2023 – All With One Voice

All With One Voice

 DECEMBER 23 & 24, 2023
 DECEMBER 23 – Daily Reading – Zephaniah / Revelation 16
 DECEMBER 24 – NO READING

 GOD’S WORD:

Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

 GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

        Today, almost everywhere in the world, we live in multicultural communities. In the city I live in, (Holland, Mi.) there are several different nationalities. Many speak English and/or Spanish around here. We also have some Vietnamese, German, Korean, Japanese, and more. Since Holland was founded as a Dutch community, we still have many families with close ties to people in the Netherlands. While growing up, I had a friend in school who had moved here in about fourth grade from there. He spoke a little English, as it had been taught in school in the Netherlands. His mom, however, spoke little to no English. I could barely understand a thing she would say, and she could not understand me either. When I would say something, she would look at her son Robert and say, “Wat zei hij?” Which means, “what did he say?” I could only hope he told her the truth.

        God caused this language confusion because of man’s disobedience. Way back in Genesis, after the flood, God said that people should move around the planet to populate the world. Instead, they all just stayed in one place. So, at the tower of Babel, He confused peoples’ language so they would obey His command and move. However, here in Zephaniah we are told that in the end, God will give us all one language again. “A pure language.” No one knows what that might be. What we do know, is that we will all, with one voice call upon the Lord.

        

 GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

        I sat in tears, as a congregation of several thousand, mostly Pastors, sang, “How Great Thou Art.” It was like nothing I had ever heard. Now imagine all of heaven with one voice in one language singing the praises of our God. I get chill bumps thinking of it.

Can you imagine the Joy?

THE WEEK IN REVIEW:

        Oh, friend, how joyful it will be to gather Around The Throne of the Lord. Over and again, we read of The Day of The Lord in:

  ●Another Chance
  ● Arise, Depart
  ● Age Old Question
  ● Anger Of The Lord
  ● Answer Me, Please
  ● All With One Voice

        After the Day of The Lord, He said He would make all things new. Then, we who are His own will gather Around The Throne to praise with one voice. Amen.

       Enjoy today with your church and hear what God has prepared in the heart of His man for you this week.

   See you tomorrow.  

 SUNDAYS:

       Today we suggest you read and study whatever the Lord has laid on your Pastors heart. Whatever scripture he uses for today’s messages were given to him by God for your specific needs.
