On April 25th, I had the privilege to share some of my favorite Bible verses as Gems of Truth at the Spring Ladies’ Luncheon at my church. The Scriptures are so encouraging; so I decided to share them as a posts on my blog. I trust that you, the reader, will be encouraged too.
Gems of Truth 1 -God takes Delight in you - “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)
One of the joys I have had as a grandmother was rocking my granddaughters and singing to them. I would sing “Jesus Loves Me”, “Oh, How He Loves You and Me”, and other children songs. Just as I took great delight in my grandbabies, how much more God takes delight in us! (Note: the word “great.”) He is might to save. God saves us from sin, from heartache, from worry, from depression and so much more! He will quiet you with his love – Many times when I rocked those tiny, little ones they would be fussing and sometimes crying. But as I gently rocked them and sang softly to them, they closed their eyes and became quiet. There must be times when God wants to quiet us, for us to rest in him and He does so with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing – When we repent of our sins, there is rejoicing in heaven (Luke15.) This is the only Scripture that I know of where God sings. And He does it by rejoicing over you! Wow!
