The Lord Sings a Melody Over You - our heavenly Father will never let suffering, pain, and disappointment have the last word. The last note belongs to Him. In your hardship and sorrow, He sings a melody of hope, comfort, and victory over you. What a wonderful thought. The psalmist says “At night his song is with me." When you find yourself restless, lonely, or downcast, find comfort in singing an old favorite hymn. You sing it to yourself as a reminder that God is with you. And you sing it to God, praising Him in faith. “The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing”

He Sings a Melody Over You

“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.

"He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” - Zephaniah 3:17

When you find yourself restless, lonely, or downcast, you may find comfort in singing an old, favorite hymn or Christian song.

You sing it to yourself as a reminder that God is with you.

And you sing it to God, praising Him in faith, even when you’ve left your feelings far behind.

But did you know that God also sings to you?

Today’s Scripture reads, “The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

That verse may be the only happy moment in the entire book of Zephaniah, coming on the heels of image after image of gloom and doom.

But it tells us that our heavenly Father will never let suffering, pain, and disappointment have the last word.

The last note belongs to Him.

Even in your hardship and sorrow, He sings a melody of hope, comfort, and victory over you.

What a wonderful thought, Lord God.

The psalmist says You sing at night, in the darkest hours: 

“At night his song is with me.” - (Psalm 42:8).

I have heard Your voice, though sometimes in my pain it seems faint and far away.

How I welcome Your songs over my life! 

I will listen for them and sing back to You.

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

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. We are amazed that He delights in us. To know and receive the gift of His love and acceptance will produce in us an overflow of thanksgiving to Him. Let us respond to Him today with a love song. Let us sing and dance before the One who delights in us so completely
