17 The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
Zephaniah 3:17 ESV
Before I read this verse my list of things God does for us would have read:
saves us
protects us
loves us
guides us
disciplines us
comforts us
provides for us
listens to us
communes with us
But rejoices over us? Exults over us with loud singing? The Creator of the universe is exuberant because of me! The Alpha and Omega celebrates my existence! Elohim delights in me.
This realization took my breath away. I sat here just allowing that new knowledge to wash over me. My Lord and Savior, my God, my Protector, my Provider is joyful because I am His child.
