God rejoices over you with joyful songs
There are people we will never meet. Some because they live too far away for us to ever cross paths, and others because they’re simply inaccessible. For example, when we lived in Mumbai, we regularly drove by SRK’s house, yet we never got to see him 🤷🏻♂️.
In the same way, it would make sense for God, the Creator of the universe, to be inaccessible. Why would a holy and majestic being want to be approachable to simple, imperfect human beings?
And yet…
The deepest desire of God’s heart has been—and always will be—to be in a close, intimate and personal relationship with each person, heart to heart.
Zephaniah 3:17 says that God:
- Is near you
- Wants to save you
- Delights in you
- Doesn’t rebuke you
- Quiets you with His love
- Rejoices over you with joyful songs
friend, you and I both have the immense privilege of knowing the biggest, most powerful celebrity in the universe: our Heavenly Father.
To make this relationship possible, God didn’t hesitate to send His only Son to die on the cross for our sins and to make the way for us to know Him.
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16
“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6
friend let God draw near to you today by drawing near to Him. Open your hands and pray: “Heavenly Father, I want to know you closely and personally; here I am.”
