God Delights In His Children

Can you picture Zephaniah 3:17? It says, “The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Psalm 36:8 says, “They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.” Jeremiah 31:14 says, “I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord.”

We are to emulate the Lord in every aspect of our lives. David wrote Psalm 40. Verse 8 says, “I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart.” Psalm 119:16 says, “I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.”

Verse 47 says, “And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on Your statutes.” “I will” are two words emphasizing an intentional choice. The Lord delights in us choosing to delight in Him through abiding.
