The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
THE LORD –
the one and only God of the universe.
YOUR GOD –
He’s personal. He has a plan for you and HE is with you at all times.
HE IS MIGHTY
TO SAVE – The Lord, Your God is Mighty and he wants to be your Savior.
HE WILL
REJOICE OVER YOU WITH GLADNESS. He takes great delight in you – no matter what
you have done - no matter where you are in your walk with Him, He delights in
you.
HE WILL
QUIET YOU WITH HIS LOVE – As you get to know Him through His
word you can hear the words of His love letter jump off the pages saying, “It’s
OK, you and I will get through this. I love you and I want to surround you with
My peace. You just need to accept it and
rest in Me. Nothing is too difficult for Me. I will uphold you with my
righteous right hand."
HE WILL
REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING – Can you think of anything more wonderful and
more humbling? The Lord, Your God, who is Mighty, sings over you. No matter
what is happening in your life, no matter what trials and mountains you face,
God is with you every step of the way and He is rejoicing in you. He is so
happy, He sings!
To be loved but not known is
comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But
to be fully known and truly loved is a lot like being loved by God. It is what
we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of
our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at
us.
