God Delights - Vicky Mutchler

God Delights
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

This is profound on every level. God is with us and is mighty to save! What is remarkable here is that this great God who created the universe – will save and rejoice over YOU with joy!
“GOD take delight in ME?”, yes, YOU!
But that’s not all. He will quiet you with his love. When you are sinking and floundering- about to drown, God will rescue YOU!
“GOD will rejoice over me?”, yes YOU!
God is said to not merely do his duty to rescue and calm our fears. Rather, He rejoices over us with singing. It’s the picture of a joyful, nuturing parent.
Isaiah 66:13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you…
“GOD will sing to me?”, yes YOU!
Quieting us with his love and singing over us, like a lullaby! And what better cause for our singing than God's singing over us?
What a wonderful, comforting, and awing thought!
I have heard the mighty Niagara Falls rushing… A mom sings to a baby…a beautiful bride sing to her groom, but I can only imagine the majesty of the voice of GOD…singing!!
Listen close, HE is singing and rejoicing over YOU!
