~Jesus Sings to Us~

"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." Zephaniah 3:17 NIV


Those words grabbed my heart today. I have been having some days of struggle...knowing what is right to do but not wanting to do it. I know that the Lord my God is with me. I have been taught that from the day I took my first breath. To truly GRASP that is another thing....the Lord MY God is with me...He is ALWAYS with me....He knows everything that I do or say. My Lord is HOLY! Do I always respect His holiness?...in thought, word, and deed?


He is the Mighty Warrior who saves me! Grasp that! He is MIGHTY. He has great power...great force...strength and skill! He rescues me...lovingly picks me up when I am willing to allow Him to carry me...when I think I can survive on my own strength...my own will...even when I am going against His will...He is there wanting to pick me up in His mighty arms...to save me from my sinfulness and from the lies that satan (small "s" intentional) tries to trap me up with. My Lord, in his might, wants to save me from harm. I need to allow Him to protect me with His might.


When I allow Him to rescue me and I rest in His loving care, then He will delight in me. Because of His great love for me, I will choose to live in His will knowing that He covers me with His love...He will delight in me because I choose to live for Him...choosing to BE with Him mentally...allowing my mind to focus on right thinking.


The Lord my God will rejoice over me with singing...I have never thought of Jesus singing over me...but as I read those words, I realized that Jesus is so much more!!! He is so much more than One who is our friend...who desires first place in our hearts and minds...One who truly wants the best for us...One who wants to be there for ALL of the things in our life...Jesus sings! He sings to me! That really hit me because I have no problem feeling His love...I have no problem sensing His presence...but now, I can hear! Jesus sings! What an amazing blessing!!!


Jesus my Lord, my God is not only mighty to save me as a Great Warrior...but He sings to me as I live my life for Him!!! How beautiful is THAT?!?!?!?!
