“The Lord your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.” Zephaniah 3:17 (NASB)
Today's verse gives us several precious promises. These promises were given to God's people long ago through the prophet Zephaniah. They are true promises for us as well. This is a message about a very personal God who takes a very personal interest in His people. To think that the great God who controls the universe would take great delight in His human creatures. We are each so small in comparison with God’s greatness and yet He rejoices over each of us, His children. We must remember, of course, that what makes God rejoice is to have His people trust Him and obey Him and live close to Him each day. When our first desire is to please Him then He is pleased. Then it will be true as our verse says, He will take great delight in you. He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy. Imagine that – what a wonderful promise to carry today.
