When God Sings
The lord your God is with you, he will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17(a,b)
My wife has a preoccupation with lambs. She thinks they are cute. But when I see them I only think of lunch. Anyhow, Ursula gave me a birthday card one year. The cover displayed a cartoon of a lamb dancing at sunrise. On the inside the smiling lamb seemed to be hovering over the words, "The lord rejoices over you!" The first thought that came to mind was, "Nice sentiment, but I wish God would have really said that." I looked on the back of the card and it said Zephaniah 3:17.
Maybe you feel so low, so guilty that you figure God would never dance when He thinks of you. And if that is true, then like me, you would be wrong. The lord loves you without equivocation and indeed He celebrates when He thinks of you. The lord loves you. The lord loves you. The lord loves you. The lord loves you. The lord loves you! No, I am not stuttering. I am repeating myself in the hope that you will believe me.
When we turn away from sin, it is cause for celebration in the heavens. And the lord is celebrating with a song, over you right now!
