Zephaniah 3:17 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.
God spoke the universe into existence with a Word. All that is was created at the sound of His voice.
Can you imagine what He could do with a song?
It never entered my mind until this morning when I read this passage. If God in His place created all there is because of love, what could be the result of love completed? He will receive all His unto Himself and then His love will be fulfilled. That joy causes Him to break out in song!!!! I cannot imagine what the result of joy complete will do.
He will joy over us. I think about loves desire and it never matched love fulfilled. The joy of love fulfilled has been so much more in me. I cannot imagine what that will look and sound like in my God.
If loves hope created the universe, what will love fulfilled create in joy?
I cannot image, my mind is too small to hold onto the possibilities.
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Incomparable glory, is that God’s joyous song? I am overwhelmed and I am not even there yet.
A truly beautiful and tender meditation. You’ve blessed me this am.
You are overwhelmed, Fred is deeply moved, and I am speechless!
I have to quote a favorite hymn here…….I think you will recognize it, Fred.
“Lord Jesus we worship and bow at Thy feet, and give Thee the glory, the honor that’s meet. While through Thee oh Savior, our praises ascend, and join in that chorus that never shall end.”
