HE DELIGHTS OVER ME

 Dad, what comforts you?

What is giving you peace? 

I read these words

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 no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

In the moment take a breath and read the verse again. Realize God is delighting in you. Stop. Stop. Listen and take in these words, in His love HE DELIGHTS OVER YOU! Does it comfort you with the next part of the verse, He will rejoice over you with singing? Do you hear worship songs come to you that are comforting? I am reminding my dad of his role as a father. How no matter what he delights over me because I am his child. Well, our Father in heaven looks at us the same way. Think about that conncetion.

I had the next verse ready for this day.

Psalm 36:5 "Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies."

After quoting this verse the song by the group THIRD DAY comes to mind.

STOP!

Let's say it together:

Lord you love, reaches to the heavens. Lord you take great delight in me. You rejoice over me with singing.

Pray:

Lord help me to remember that you delight over me. Your love reaches to the heavens, you love me, you rejoice over me with singing. Thank you Lord for this message that is so personal for me. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

You delight over me! My goodness how powerful!
