Focus on God’s Goodness-Delight in His People

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Zephaniah 3:17.

The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

One of the ways that God’s people celebrates the love of God today is through music. This verse points to a day when God will sing over His people. Will He have a different song for every person? What will the lyrics be like? We don’t know what it will sound like, but we know this: It will be music to our ears. This is the picture of a God who enjoys being with His people.

God’s love is vast, but it is also very personal. God loves the world, and He loves you. He calls us by invitation into a relationship with Him through faith in Jesus Christ. He is the God who saves us from our sins, and leads us to eternal life with Him.

God’s Delight in His people reveals the Goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
