“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.””

GOLD NUGGETS

Zephaniah contains a beautiful word picture that gives deep insight into God’s love for His children. In it, we see the Lord singing, shouting for joy, and dancing over us with intense love. We no longer need to fear; our God is with us and in us. Today’s text describes God’s victory and admiration of his redeemed people. As Victor, he will be à Hero who helps (The Mighty One will save). His love will be seen and deeply felt in thoughtfulness and admiration. He will amaze you with his love. His satisfaction with his people will be expressed through loud, demonstrative singing (He will rejoice over you with singing) The voices of the world are a cacophony of chaos, pulling you in different directions. Don’t listen to those voices. Challenge them with the word of God. Learn to take minibreaks from the world, and find a place to be still in God’s presence and listen to his voice. There are immense hidden treasures to be found as you listen to him. Though he pours out his blessings upon us always, some of his richest blessings have to be actively sought after. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7).” SHALOM: God’s all encompassing blessings to you
