Your God is present among you,
a strong Warrior there to save you.
Happy to have you back, he’ll calm you with his love
and delight you with his songs.

Happy to have you back, he’ll calm you with his love

Zephaniah 3:17
(The Message)
Do you ever wonder what God does all day?
I imagine - in my own finite mind - that God has the daily turning of the Earth, keeping the planets and galaxies in orbit, and the whole us breathing in a pretty good rhythm.
Sometimes I think that He delegates some of the projects ...and assigns a new master painter to paint the night sky each evening - or maybe when we get to heaven we get to try something totally new - and chefs are now painters and accountants are now farmers and celebrities are now librarians (this could go on for awhile - so I digress).
God manages all of the seen and unseen and still has time for you and to me.
He has time to walk with us; talk with us; laugh with us and cry with us.
He shares our concerns, our fears, our failures and our triumphs.
Even though He knows all things - what has been, what is and what will be - He still celebrates when we win and weeps when we fail.
I love this passage from Zephaniah - "He'll calm you with his love....delight you with his songs". Isn't that exactly how it feels to have God working in our lives - a sense of calm delight - in the good or the bad.
God - The Master of All Things - chooses to spend His time focused on loving you.
You who worries and frets over whether you will pass a test, go to college, get a new job or fall in love.
You who laughs too loud, yells too quickly, or cries to easily.
You who is filled with countless frailties and failings.
God chooses to spend His time - His precious life giving time - focused on you.
Why?
He takes great delight in YOU.
Imagine that?
God delights in you!
He is filled with joy at being with you - at having you in His presence.
He longs to spend more and more time with you.
He wants to rejoice over you.
God wants to serenade you.
How crazy is that?!!?!
God wants to sing songs to you.
You are so precious to the Mighty, Wonderful, Savior God that He wants to spend His time celebrating you.
You must be pretty special....
So the next time you worry, fret, yell or cry - remember that God loves you.
Just knowing that - in your heart and in your mind - will make you unstoppable.
