Here's another re-post from my Barnabas Blog site on Day # 12 of February. Revel in God's love today!
One of my favorite Old Testament verses is Zephaniah 3:7 where we read the following:
"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." (NIV)
Although these promises were written to the nation of Judah during the reign of King Josiah, the principles apply to believers today and we can take solace in the fact that our Father feels the same way about us.
Revel in these facts:
He is with us.
He is mighty to save.
He takes great delight in us. (can you imagine that?)
He quiets us with His love.
He rejoices over us with singing. (I struggle to get a handle on that. God actually sings with joy because of me? Wow!)

What a mighty God we serve! O that we might know Him better and rest in His loving embrace!
It is amazing to contemplate God's love for us. Thank you for sharing this beautiful verse David. May rejoice and sing for the Lord who rejoices over us with singing. Incredible.
