The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." {Zephaniah 3:17}
I was listening to the song "Singing Over Me" by Building 429 and I got to really thinking about God singing over me. How amazing is that?! Can you just imagine - Almighty God rejoicing over you with singing?!
I get an awesome mental picture of God - the One who sets the stars in place and counts each grain of sand - singing over me. I see a father who spends countless hours gently rocking his newborn child as he softly sings a lullaby. Can you see the love? Can you sense the warmth? Can you feel the strength?
If you understand the delight a parent has in singing over a child, you recognize that God doesn't sing over us out of duty, but out of joy, because of who we are and because of who HE is!
I don't believe that we are truly able to appreciate the joy that we give to God when we listen to His song of love for us! That makes me want to spend more time in His presence. I want to know what it means to have been in his presence!
Read that verse again, putting your name where appropriate. "The Lord your God is with you. He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
Sounds great doesn't it?
