GOD IN YOUR MIDST

Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV 
The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Did you notice the first line of our verse? ‘The Lord your God in your midst.’ How reassuring that is!  Our God isn’t off on holiday, thinking about something else. He is right there with you and right here with me, in the middle of our lives, in the middle of the happy moments, or the mess or the upset. He knows all about us! Doesn’t that make you glad? We’re known and loved by Almighty God. We can wrap that thought around us like a blanket regardless of whatever is happening in our world!😊 

Next time you feel alone get this verse out and say it aloud to yourself, feel it soak into your spirit and allow the Lord to minister His great love to your heart. You’re never alone, never without His help, never without hope.

And notice God doesn’t sing sad songs, He is singing rejoicing songs and He’s singing them over those who are trusting in Jesus as their Saviour. He’s glad you belong to Him and He knows when you’re in turmoil, when somebody or something has cut up your peace, but listen to what He says. “I will quiet you with My love.” How wonderful that thought is! His love is perfect and it casts out all fear.😊

Whatever else is going on, let Him quiet you with His love, remember He is right now in your midst, that He is the  Mighty One and He’s saving you on a daily basis, that He is actually rejoicing and singing over you.😊

Just stop and let His words sink in, and give Him all our praise and thanks today. In Jesus name. Amen.
