Respond with a Love Song - when we realize that God actually sings a love song over us and that He sings it loudly and with exuberance, our hearts want to respond to Him with song.

"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.” - Zephaniah 3:17

When we are aware of God’s great love for us, our hearts respond in worship.

To know and receive the gift of His love and acceptance will produce in us an overflow of thanksgiving to Him. 

When we realize that God actually sings a love song over us and that He sings it loudly and with exuberance, our hearts want to respond to Him with song. 

We are amazed that He delights in us.

The Hebrew words used for “rejoice” and “joy” carry the idea of twirling about with a happy expression on the face, or of a leaping horse romping in the meadow with complete abandon.

The Hebrew verb sus means “to rejoice, be glad, be greatly happy.” 

From this verb is derived sason, a noun meaning “joy, rejoicing, gladness.” 

It describes a rejoicing that is the complete antithesis of mourning; it is a pervasive, irresistible joy.

Let us respond to Him today with a love song. 

Let us sing and dance before the One who delights in us so completely.

The Lord Rejoices Over Us With Singing - how wonderful that God rejoices over us with gladness and delights in His little flock with shouts of joy. God is in the midst of us, He is the Almighty God and as such, He is mighty to save His people, not only from their enemies without and their fears within, but also from the curse of sin and death. Christ is the provision for our need, the remedy for our fear, the cure for our problems, and the antidote to sin

God Rejoices Over Us - God, our heavenly Father, delights in us. God cannot rest in His love for us. It is beyond measure. In fact, we give Him so much joy that He breaks into song. He rejoices over us with gladness. Is this reality not amazing? God not only loves His children, but He loves to love them. Although He grieves over the sins we commit, He rejoices in the services we perform in His holy name. He freely expresses His joy by lifting His voice in song

The Gift of Song - spiritual songs can break off a depression, set your heart to dancing, create an environment of worship and humble your heart in thanksgiving and gratitude for what God has done, is now doing and will do. Music affects the atmosphere surrounding you. Make singing songs of praise a part of your day. When we listen to music that invites the presence of God there is a strong connection that builds a more intimate relationship with our Creator
