"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."  Zephaniah 3:17

How very gracious is our God in His loving kindness and tender mercies!
What attention He gives to His own.  Let's look a little closer at this
verse.

'The Lord thy God.'
Who is this who exults over you with joy (some translations say, shouts with
joy)?  It is Yahweh!  The Almighty God!  The Lord of the universe!  Not from
afar, but in your very presence!  Imagine!

'...in the midst of thee...'
"And He said, 'My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.'"

He is there even in the smallest assembly of believers and until the end:

their midst."  Matthew 18:20

'...He will rest in His love...'
"For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up
His only begotten (unique) Son, that whoever believes in (trusts I n, clings
to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have
eternal (everlasting) life.  John 3:16 The Amplified Bible
"See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be

Does this not bless your heart?!  Imagine God Himself rejoices over you and
me with singing!!  How awesome is our God in His graciousness and loving
kindness.  Let us then sing joyfully to Him who has drawn us unto Himself in
our precious Christ Jesus.  For great is our Lord and greatly to be praise
now and always.  Amen!
