He will quiet you

I don't often read in the book of Zephaniah, but his morning my devotions took me to chapter 3 of Zephaniah, specifically verse 17.



"The Lord your God is with you he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love. He will rejoice over you with singing."


He delights in me! He quiets me!

Picture it like a newborn. The mother or father will nestle that little one down in their arms and softly sway and rock them to sleep. Then quietly walk to the crib and gently lay them down as they sing of Jesus love for them.


Jesus does that with us, no matter what age. He quietly wraps us up in His arms. Gently rocks us and assures us that he delights in us. He quiets us with His love and rejoices over us! He delights in us!


Jesus wrap your arms around me today. Comfort me in your arms. Quiet my thoughts and my mind so that I can be still and know You. Rejoice over me with singing. Fill me with your presence!


He longs to do this with each one of His children!


This reminds me of Sunday when Ron had a baptism. This little one didn't want to leave Ron's arms. She was comforted by Him. That's what our Heavenly Father desires for us. He wants us to be in the safety of His arms. Allowing Him to tackle our biggest fears and struggles.




The picture quality is not great, but you get the idea!
