God’s Heart Song

Zephaniah‬ ‭3‬:‭17

“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 ‭NKJV‬‬

Just let this soak in. Wherever you’re sitting, driving, walking, running, whatever you’re doing right now, you are in Jesus. The Lord your God is in your midst. He is with you. He is your Savior and He is mighty, and He will rejoice over you with gladness.

What a picture of God as our Father, His love for us, His love for you. Would you just feel this right now, that God, the Holy God of the universe, look out in creation today? Just think about the one who spoke and it all came into being, and He rejoices over you with gladness. His child, He quiets you by His love.

The world teaches us that love requires a price from us. We are judged by our performance, our appearance, and our status. However, what the world misses is that Jesus already paid the ultimate price to save you, His love is not conditional based on your works.

God is not there to condemn us, but He delights to bring us to salvation and He pours out eternal life and life more abundantly with exultant gladness, upon all who trust in His name. Oh yes, the Lord rejoices over all that believe in Him, and He takes joyful delight in those who trust His Word and abide in His love.

The One who has saved you from darkness is here in your midst, even right now this moment as you read these words. Cling to His hand, and choose to focus on His face. Hear Him whispering to you, ‘I am here.’

Oh, amidst the restlessness of your heart, amidst the anxiousness of your mind, be quieted in this moment. Rest in His love. He loves you. He’s holding you in His hand. He will exult over you with loud singing, not just singing. And that in and of itself is quite the picture. God exulting over you, His people, with singing. God is singing over us, with joy over us, with gladness over us, but it’s loud singing. It’s divinely loud singing.

Part of me wants to just shout into this microphone. Oh God, this is breathtaking. Do not let this opportunity slip away. You are His blood-bought beloved, and He is here to stay!!!

Father thank You for this day and Your amazing grace to walk in it. Lord open the windows of heaven and shine down Your abundant blessings over my friend and family today. Lord we are not worthy to be in Your presence and yet You show Your love for us in everything. Lord who are we that You would delight in us and rejoice over us with Your heart song. Lord use my friend to be the blessing the someone needs today. !
