A Loving Reminder: He Watches Over Us

My lovelies, A Loving Reminder: The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. (Zephaniah 3:17 ESV)

One of my favorite verses!! When my daughter was a baby she had trouble sleeping so My husband and I had lots of sleepless nights. Most nights she would simply be comforted by me rocking her to sleep while singing to her 'Here I am To Worship'. (I can't sing, certainly not one of my gifts, but i brought it with love, and to her it was comforting, :)) Every time I read and meditate on this verse I envision myself a child in the arms of my father and he quieting me with his love and comforting me with His song. Can you imagine that.. He sings over us and quiets us with His Love! My lovelies close your eyes for a minute and soak that verse in...

Father, I come to your throne boldly thanking you, for your unchanging love! Thanking you because you are everlasting! Thanking you because you love us despite of us! Thanking you because you meet us right where we are, in the midst of our hurt, our pain, our troubles. Thank you because you meet us at the 'well' (John 4:1-54). The 'well' of hurt, loneliness, depression, disease, financial struggles, etc.. Thank you for extending your hand out to us and offering us eternity. But most of all thank you for your patience with us. Father I come on behalf of my lovelies, asking that if any need a 'personal encounter' with you, that you reveal yourself and meet them at their 'well', where ever and whatever that may be. I ask that you sing over them and you quiet them with your love. In your precious name, Jesus, Amen
