111 - God's joy over us

'The Lord your God...will rejoice over you with gladness...with loud singing' (Zeph. 3:17) 

I can't get over this verse.

God rejoices over us. US. The people who rebelled against Him, who are constantly sinning, ungrateful, lowly. Yet He finds joy in us.

Why? Because He's saved us. Sinners become saints. Outcasts become children.

And this doesn't just make Him content. He doesn't just sit back and smile. This joy bursts forth in divine celebration.

If the words of God produced Creation...just imagine what His singing is like. Imagine Heaven ringing with the happy voice of our Lord.

So don't we have even more reason to rejoice? God took the judgement we deserved away. It is finished. We're free!

May we sing and rejoice just as much! May we be as thankful for Him as He is for us!

You'll never be able to do it...but try and outsing God!
