Delight

"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17

The prophet Zephaniah is giving hope to beleaguered Jerusalem.  They have been punished for their idolatry.  Zephaniah offers a vision of hope that though they are punished now a day is coming when God will be with them.  He will take great delight in them.  He will quiet them with his love.  He will rejoice over them with singing. 

Have you ever stopped to realize that God delights in you? 

That the God who created everything loves you, he delights in you.  He rejoices over you with singing. 

You are the delight of God.  You are the apple of his eye.  You are his prized possession. 

No matter what others have said about you or what you have said about yourself remember this:

YOU are GOD's DELIGHT! 

Take a moment today to allow God to delight in you, to quiet you with his love, and to rejoice over you with singing.  Know that you are loved by the Most High God!
