The Lord Sings a Song Over Us
So often the Lord gives me what I would call hard messages, but today He wants to lift us up.
God actually operates in a very interesting way. Much like a parent who loves His children He gets after them when they’re off track. But if they are obedient and long to please Him He has no need to play the part of the tough parent. In that case He can be our friend.
Isn’t that amazing? When we respond to Holy Spirit conviction and repent He becomes our friend rather than our judge. He walks alongside us and encourages us, lifting us up and reminding us of His great love and His plans to use us.
Jeremiah 32:41 says: And I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
God says He sings a song of rejoicing over us when we draw near, with clean hands and a pure heart.
We have such a wonderful God! He created us, knows and understands us intimately, forgives us, provides for us, redeems us from the hands of the enemy, protects and guides us, gives us a direct line to heaven’s wisdom, and will take us to heaven when our lives are over.
So how is it we can know these things and not get excited about Jesus?
Lord, forgive us for going our own way and reveal yourself to us in all your glory, so that we might catch the vision the rest of the world can see, but to which we ourselves seem blind.
Let’s ask Him to stir up the fire within us so we fall in love with Him all over again.
Because of His great love,
Nancy
