The Lord delights in you.

As we continue through the season of Advent, today’s devotion is based on the words of the prophet Zephaniah.  “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.”
The words Zephaniah wrote so long ago are still valid! The Lord has taken great delight in you. Don’t be mistaken; this Lord is no pushover. He is mighty, and he held every right to come to earth as a conqueror. But instead, he came as a baby. He came not to conquer but to rescue! He came not to punish but for peace! He will quiet your conscience with his total and free forgiveness, even for the sins you’re ashamed to remember. He will rejoice over you with his singing.
Please pray with me, Dear Jesus, thank you for taking great delight in me, so much that you were willing to lay down your very own life for me. Quiet my soul as I drink in your promises and give me courage as I picture you singing over me and remember that you are with me always. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
