PROMISE #288 - OCTOBER 15
Promise #288:
I love to sing over you with loud shouts of joy.
Zephaniah 3:17 (WEB)
Yahweh, your God, is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save.
He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love.
He will rejoice over you with singing.
When I go to the ocean, I love to hear the continual roaring sound of the waves crashing on the seashore. I wonder if this is just one of the ways that our God and Father rejoices over all He made with His singing? I love this Bible verse because it is jam-packed and full of promises. God is mighty to save us! He rejoices over us with great joy! He will quiet us in His love! And He sings over us! All of these powerful promises are contained in just one verse.
For time's sake, I only want to focus on the part of this promise that says God sings over us with loud shouts of joy. The context of this verse is that God is intensely singing over us because we make Him very happy! How many of us really grasp this kind of joy? If this revelation became more of a reality, it would change how we see ourselves and how we see God.
Often, when we look in a mirror, we only see the imperfections. When God looks at us, it is as if His heart skips a beat because of the joy we bring to Him. My prayer today is that we would have the blinders taken off of our eyes so we might truly see ourselves in the light of God's love and begin to experience His joy over our lives.
In Nehemiah 8:10, the Bible says, 'The joy of the Lord is our strength.’ His joy over our lives will give us the power to live a whole, free, joy-filled life simply because God loves you with all His heart and rejoices over you with loud shouts of joy!
