You are one of God's chosen people and you dwell in Zion, a permanent place of peace. The peace that rests on your life makes you a signpost and monument to others. The Lord Jehovah has caused you to be preeminent and excel above your fellow men.

Although previously you were in a place of weeping, now Yeshua (Jesus) is your joy. You were humiliated and grieving. But He has been gracious unto you. You are a recipient of God's favor and mercy.

When you cry out for help, putting sound to your voice, the Lord listens attentively and with great interest. He understands what you need and grants your requests. But you must keep your ears attuned to His voice; when you hear His words, you must be obedient to them. Agree with and consent to what He says; for He will give you promises and commands to direct you. He will tell you the way that you should take. With each step of your walk, His words will lead you. If you are to go right, He will tell you; however, if you need to turn left instead, His words will guide you in that way as well. As long as you listen to Him, you will not walk in the dark, but continue on the right path for you life.
