Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Gott singt also auch gern! Er mag es sogar, seine Wiegenlieder mit denen zu teilen, die er lieb hat. Gott ist nicht nur Gott Abba Vater, sondern auch wie eine Mutter. Sanft wiegt und beruhigt Er seine Kinder durch seine liebevolle Fürsorge.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I still remember trying to learn to affirm my son's value to him. I didn't know exactly what that looked like or what I was supposed to do or say. Then, the Holy Spirit gently reminded me of what God the Father did to affirm Jesus the Son at his baptism.
"You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased" (Luke 3:21).
God affirmed his relationship with Jesus, "You are my Son..." God affirmed his love and affection for Jesus, "...my Son, whom I love..." God affirmed his delight in Jesus, "...with you I am well pleased."
Zephaniah reminds us that the Father feels much the same about us as his children: "He will take great delight in you..." On top of that, he calms us with his love and rejoices over us in singing! God sees and values us as his children. He calms us in our fears and sings lullabies over us in his joy. We are his children whom he loves and in whom he takes delight!
Mein Gebet
Oh Gott, wenn die Stürme des Lebens gegen mich toben, bete ich, dass ich mich an diese Worte erinnere und in deiner schützenden Fürsorge Zuflucht, Trost und Frieden finde. Mache mir, oh Gott, deinen Gesang in meinem Leben bewusst, indem du mir deine Errettung jeden Tag klarer machst. Durch meinen Heiland, Jesus, bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
O God, I pray that when the storms of life rage against me, I will remember these precious words and find my refuge, comfort, identity, acceptance, and peace in your sheltering care. Please, dear Father, make me more aware of your singing over me and your delight in me. Through my Savior Jesus, I pray. Amen.
