Dont be deceived yOUR FATHER DELIGHTS IN US*ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL♡♡♡ ZEPHANIAH 3:17 “THE LORD YOUR GOD is IN YOUR MIDST, A MIGHTY ONE WHO WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SAVE; HE WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH GLADNESS; HE WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL QUIET YOU BY HIS LOVE; HE WILL EXULT OVER YOU WITH LOUD SINGING.” God sings over you? Yes He does! IMAGINE HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD. Now imagine hearing Him sing------------>over you! Here is the “Mighty One who will save” and this same “Mighty One” will “rejoice over you with gladness.” What an awesome thought. If that were not enough, “He will quite you by His love.” I love that. In a noisy, tumultuous world, God will quite us with the reassurance of His great love. A love that cannot be measured. Then He will “exult you with loud singing.” Here is the God of the universe, the Creator of all things, and He saves us, He rejoices over us (and with gladness!), He quiets us (by His love), He will exult us, and then do all of this with “loud singing.” By the way, the word “exult” means “to show or feel a lively or triumphant joy. Wow! Bask in those thoughts for a while and you will be encouraged. Of that I am certain:)(: https://youtube/watch?v=YnG-qoOeBqg&feature=youtube_gdata_player Psalm 103:13-14 “As a father shows compassion to his children,so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.” If you are a parent, you already have compassion for your children but the Lord God is a Father who shows compassion on those children who are His. If you are born again (John 3:3) then you are part of His family and one of His own children. The Lord has shown us compassion already by saving us. For those who “fear Him” means that for those who reverence His name and His Word, the Bible. This is not a terrifying fear like God’s ready to strike you down with lightning. It is a reverential fear and respect of God. God has compassion because “He knows our frame.” He understands that we are fragile and “that we are dust.” A parent knows that their children are fragile in body, mind, and spirit. Hopefully we know that about their frame. This makes us more compassionate over them. How much more does God do the same? John 10:28-29 “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.” Not only does Jesus Christ give us eternal life, He reinforces this by an iron clad statement; “and they shall never perish.” That is what eternal life is all about. Since it is something you cannot lose then you can never perish. Next Jesus strengthens this statement even further by proclaiming that you are in the firm grasp of His own hand. As a final stake in the ground, He says that no one can snatch you out of the Father’s hand. What an encouragement to anyone who has ever had doubts about their salvation. Jesus says; I give them eternal life (present tense), they will not ever perish (future tense), nobody can snatch them out of My hand, and no one can snatch them out of the Father’s hand (objective truth). Now that’s something THAT PHILIPPIANS 1,2,3,4*COMPLIMENTS:)(: Ephesians 1:4-5 “even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will.” HEAR*here*HEAR ARE ONLY 2 PASSAGES in the BIBLE WITH ENCOURAGING WORDS OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. Can you even imagine that God chose us before we even existed and before the earth was created? This was done “according to the purpose of His will” and nothing we ever did or could ever do so we know it’s not from works. He chose us to be holy and blameless which was only possible because of Jesus’ work on the cross 2 Corinthians 5:21:)(:ROMANS 8:1-19-39:)(:
