Have you had your Joy Juice today? Delight in the Lord as you drink in His
satisfying joy.
Don’t you
think that God is delighted when we are walking with Him? We can be sure that is true because we have
the promise of scripture. In Zephaniah 3:17 we read: “The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with
his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”
Why does God
delight in His children? First and foremost, He loves us! And
though we make mistakes, though we are a sinful people….His love is
everlasting. Of course, He rejoices when
our thinking and our actions line up with His Word…when we do what is right.
According to John Piper: “ ‘Rightness’ is thinking, feeling, and doing what flows
from a true perception of the supreme value of God. It is seeing truly,
savoring duly, and showing consistently in action the infinite worth of God.
Therefore, we are doing what is right when we are understanding the truth of God’s value for what it is,
and feeling it proportionately to his universal
supremacy, and acting in ways that express God’s supreme value.”
God rejoices and delights in us; He is greatly
pleased when we truly value Him.
