This verse came to mind as I began to reflect on the evening, Zephaniah 3:17 "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."
A music pastor, singer, songwriter that I love, shares his interpretation of what this verse says to him, it actually moved me.
"The eternal Self existent God, the God who is three in one. He who dwells in the center of your being, is a powerful valiant warrior. He has come to set you free, to keep you safe and to bring you victory. He has cheered for you and He beams with exceeding joy and takes pleasure in your presence. He has engraved a place for Himself in you, and there He quietly rests in His love and affection for you. He cannot contain himself at the thought of you, and with the greatest of joy spins wildly around in anticipation over you. He has placed you above all other creations and in the highest place in his priority. In fact, He shouts and sings in triumph joyfully proclaiming the gladness of His heart in a song of rejoicing......ALL because of you!"
Still love it!!
I can tell you, our rowdy crew did some serious rejoicing at the baptism, the angels even told us to shhhhh, but we didn't, hee, hee !!!!!!!
Love you!!!!
