I've been meditating on Zephaniah 3:17 a lot lately. It's an inspiring passage from an obscure Old Testament book. Have you ever even heard of Zephaniah? Come on, be honest. Here it is:
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.
The whole verse is great. But the part that gets most of my attention is the last line. "He will rejoice over you with singing." We sing to God in corporate worship at church and in private worship in our cars, in the shower, or even at work. It is a completely natural and normal thing for us to rejoice over the Lord with singing. In fact, worshiping God is one of our purposes in life.
But Zephaniah says that God rejoices over us with singing. Have you ever considered that God sings to you? Can you picture God rejoicing over you in song? I wonder what that song would sound like? I wonder what the lyrics would be? God loves you so much and takes great delight in you. He sings a song of praise over you.
I would suggest that you take a longer look at Zephaniah 3:17 and when your day gets challenging or frustrating or even if your day is going well - remember that God is rejoicing over you with singing.
