This week I was given the challenge to focus on just one verse a day. I can honestly say this is a great idea!! I have learned so much by just applying that one verse to my day.
Yesterday I focused on the verse
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.
There is so much going on in this verse!!
1st God is with you!! He is always with you no matter where you go!! What ever you are doing or going through remember he cares enough to follow you. When ever you feel alone know that you are not.
2nd He is mighty to save, This brings in Jesus. Jesus died for you, even though you do not deserve it. He died so you could go to heaven! Jesus died for us sinners before we were even born! He is our great and mighty savior!!!!
3rd He will take great delight in you. God cares about you. He wants a relationship with you. He wants you to know that you are his child and that you are a priority to him. He loves you so remember you are important to Him so never feel that you are not important!
4th He will quiet you with his love! Seek God when you are distressed and feel his love in the tough situations. He is always there for you and wants to comfort you. When you are upset next time remember to ask God to lift you up and allow you to feel his love!!
5th He will rejoice over you with singing. God loves you and is singing to you! This makes me think of when you are little and your parents sing to you to calm you down or to sleep. It is the same thing!! God is showing you that he cares for you and wants you to be at peace in your life!!
Hope you all enjoyed this verse as much as I do!!!
This is so cool! I know one of the first things that struck me when I began growing in my faith was that God is ALWAYS with you. That is most definitely one of the most comforting things about Him.
