The Lord you 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 NIV
God takes delight in you! He rejoices over you with singing! Amen!
I love the glow in my sons' faces when I tell them how special
they are to me or when they hear me bragging on them to others. It seems
to bring such pleasure to them. I react to God the same way with joy in
my heart whenever I read this verse!
The idea that God delights in me is a fact too amazing for me to fully
comprehend! I don't know about you, but sometimes I don't feel very
delightful! Sometimes I wonder how I can even stand myself! Yet, God,
the Creator, Sustainer, Lord Almighty, the Great I AM, takes personal
delight in me! Not because of who I am, but because of who I am to Him.
His delight does not begin with me. The delight of the Lord in me begins
with Him. I am His creation. He delights in me because it pleases Him to
delight in me.
What a precious joy it is to stand at the bedside of an infant baby and sing
a lullaby to them as they sleep. (My boys are old enough now that they
don't really care for my singing, but there was a time when they
couldn't complain!) Oh, the love I felt for them as I rejoiced over
their birth with singing!
Picture this! God rejoices over you and me with singing! What a wonderful
testimony of the depth of our Father's love!
As you lay down to sleep tonight, listen carefully for your Father's
tender voice, as He takes great delight in you and rejoices over you
with His singing!
