Scripture and a Snapshot - He Will Rejoice Over You


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~

I love the picture this verse brings to my mind. A great and mighty warrior delighting in a beloved child. I picture a strong and brave soldier coming home to meet his wife and little children. He takes "great delight" in them, doesn't he? He hugs them so tight and kisses their dear faces. They laugh and cry together in their joy at his homecoming. And maybe that daddy lifts his little ones high and shouts for joy that they are together, and he can rock that baby to sleep or read that toddler a bedtime story. That's how God loves his people. He is our Mighty Warrior, strong and powerful, who sings and shouts for joy that we are his children!

  2. Thankfulness that he takes delight in us even if undeserving, and rejoices as we do over Him.
