The Love of God For Believers pt 5: The God Who Sings
"The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy. He will quiet you in His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17
What an amazing picture of God's love for us. At the end of this study, this is the picture I would like to implant on your minds as to the specific, special love of Christ for His church and His people. We have seen that His love is not like the love He has for everyone else, that His love is that of a husband for His wife, that His love is a very specific, particular election, that His love will keep us walking in His way, and now we see that He rejoices over us with so much joy that He breaks forth into song. What an awesome God we serve!
When we think of singing, it usually us who do the singing in our minds. We are the ones singing praises to God, and as well we should. But how often do we stop to think that God sings over us? How often do we take the time to be silenced by this awesome love? Are you stunned to silence by God's love? You should be. God's love is so deep and rich that, on one hand, we should be completely speechless and dumbfounded, but on the other hand, we should be shouting for joy from the rooftops!
I urge you, brethren, to adjust your view of God's special love for you, as a person, not as a member of His body, but for YOU, specifically. I challenge you to let that seep into your mind, into your heart, into your life.
