Zephaniah 3:17 KJV
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
I have found the little book of Zephaniah to be a real encouragement to me this reading. Though it is written in a time of devastation in Jerusalem. He lives and preaches during the same time and under the same circumstances as Jeremiah, yet his prophecy is filled with encouraging words. We must never forget that, though God will chastise His people to draw them into a closer walk with Himself, still His love is His overriding character.
Now I just want to fasten a word or two on one thought in this verse; God is said here to sing. God joys over His people with singing. Our God not only listens to singing. Our God not only created the angels to be musicians before His throne and designed that His children worship Him through song; our God Himself joys over His children with singing.
It reminds me of how important singing is in worship
It also reminds me of how important that singing be the right sort and
It calls my mind to consider that when we sing in worship, He may be harmonizing with us.
