What Makes God Sing?

No matter what we are going through today, the book of Zephaniah, Chapter 3 it tells us that God is in the midst. He is in the midst of our situations, and circumstances. The book of Zephaniah has three main themes; it talks about the day of judgment, indifference to sin and day of cheer.

As we have read in the book of Zephaniah God does not take sin lightly, and it will be punished. But be encouraged by the words of hope, that our God reigns and he will rescue his own. Jesus told us I will never leave you nor forsake you.

There are times in my own life when I felt all alone and I had to go to the word of God. I had to remind myself that my feelings are not always accurate but that God’s word is true. He states in the book of Psalms he holds His word above His name. (Psalm 138:2)

Zephaniah knew the people needed an internal transformation. They did not need to turn over a new leaf, they needed a new life. He called the Children of Isreal together to take a look at their hearts, their motives, their desires and even their private lives. What about us? This is our time, we are alone with God and he is speaking? What is he saying? Are we listening?

It is not easy to confront difficult issues. Regardless of how hopeless a situation may become, God’s word offers a plan and if we repent and walk in that plan, we bring joy to the heart of God. We give God something to sing about.

Today, I want to encourage you to stand on the promises of God. He has never broken a promise or told a lie. The book of Zephaniah tells us he will save us, he will rejoice over us with joy, he will rest in his love, and he will joy over us with singing. That’s right God is singing over us.

Have you ever been in love with someone and that special person tried to sing a song to you to express how he or she felt. Well God does the same thing. He has joy when he thinks about us. You might be thinking you don’t know the things I have done. My friend it really does not matter, if you repent and ask for God’s forgiveness, you will bring joy to the heart of God and he will save you and he will start singing over you. God tells us in his word we are the apple of his eye (Psalm 17:8) And he who touches you is touching the apple of his eye (Zech 2:8)

If we know that God Loves us, then ought we to love him also. The word declares if we love him we are to keep his commandments.(St. John 14:15). Shhhhhhhh. What’s that I hear? I believe God is calling your name and singing a song. Take a moment and talk to him, perhaps you have a song you would like to sing to HIM………. Be Blessed. God Loves You and So do I.......Pastor Tammy
