He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV
A few days later, back at home, my heart still warm from those precious moments with my grandson, I came across the words in the Bible in which God says He rejoices over us with singing. I remember thinking at the time that just like I sang to my grandson with such love in my heart, God does the same to me. He does so as I come-and-go throughout my day reminding me in many ways of His love for me. It may be something I see in creation, something I read in His word, something from a conversation with a friend, a phrase in a worship song, or even an answer to prayer. Whatever it may be, when it comes I know He is singing just to me.
Well, last week when we came across that Bible verse (Zephaniah 3:17), I shared this with the women in my group, hopefully to encourage them that God will sing His song to each of them as well. In fact, He will sing it to anyone who asks Him, for He rejoices over us with singing.
A simple request from a little boy taught me that God loves me enough to sing to me. If you’ve never asked Him to sing to you, try it. I think you’ll be amazed how beautiful is His voice!
Blessings and love,
