“The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with
joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing” (Zeph. 3:17).
You have seen human beings looking happy and joyful, but have you ever seen God looking
happy? None of us can dream how our creator looks when He is joyful. Yet it is true that God
rejoices. “The Lord thy God… will rejoice over thee, He will joy over thee with singing.”
Suppose you could hear the Lord Himself singing! How would you feel if you could hear your
loving and living Lord singing over you? After He has loved you, saved you and poured His
love into your heart. He will begin to sing for joy over you. Watch a mother with a new-born
babe. She is so full of Love for the little one, hugging and kissing it all over. Her face lights
up with joy, and her song is sweet as she pours her love into her baby’s heart. God too will
sing over us like this when we are newly born again and ready to receive His Love. Then you
will hear Him singing a song far sweeter than any angel’s song. Such is the joy of the Lord.
Such is the joy that fills us with divine strength.
