I live a very busy life as a wife, small business owner, nurse, and most of all, mom. I am constantly pouring out of myself into the lives of others. It’s fabulous, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. But that doesn’t mean it’s not exhausting. It doesn’t mean it’s not hard. It doesn’t mean I’m immune to depression or rage just because I’m blessed with four precious daughters. In the chaos and flustered rush I’m actually more prone to these things. That’s just how it is.
Late last night I felt led to open up a daily devotional book that I honestly only get around to occasionally. I enjoyed the message within, but quickly went to bed as I was beat. The obscure verse had left my mind completely until it popped up again this morning in a totally different Bible plan I was reading.
Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)
The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
