Zephaniah 3:17

“The Lord your God is with you, the mighty warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will not rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Think about this for a minute. Can you believe that God takes such great delight in you that he sings over you? Try to picture this in your mind. That is an awesome picture. I must admit that sometimes it is hard for me to grasp that God enjoys me. So many Christians have done remarkable things more than my small contributions to the kingdom. When I start to feel this way, other than reading God’s Word, I think about my kids and grandkids and how they gave me great pleasure way before they were able to do anything in return. That is how God loves us. We are his beloved children, and He enjoys us. How can you make someone feel special today?

Dear God, thank you for loving me. It is a wonder how you take delight in me, and you rejoice over me with singing. No longer do I need to fear rebuke from you. Please help me to remember these things. Thank you for being with me. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
