In Spite of Myself

In spite of my recent blog post, I started my "read the Bible in a year" program in January. I did not, however, start with Genesis. I started with Zephaniah. One book down. 65 more to go!

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. I will gather those of you who mourn for the festival, so that you will no longer suffer reproach. Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth.
Zephaniah 3:17-19
