Listen
to the Word
"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) |
|
So far this week we have seen
God pictured as Father, Shepherd, King, and Fortress. The final
image may be the most surprising: Scripture describes God as a
Singer. Zephaniah 3:17 paints a picture of God as a tender parent
who holds a terrified child, singing an impromptu song to calm the
child. You are the child, and God is singing over you! And
notice what motivates his song: the verse says that He delights in you,
and that His song is an act of rejoicing over you. God is pleased
to have you as His child, and He is singing about it.

Live the
Word
Now that you know that God is singing over you, why not
return the favor? At your next available opportunity, sing to God
of your delight in Him. Choose a hymn or worship song, or compose
your own spontaneous solo. | |
