Singing Over Us

Bible in a Year:

• 2 Kings 10–12
• John 1:29–51

[He] will rejoice over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17

A young father held his baby boy in his arms, singing to him and rocking him in soothing rhythm. The baby was hearing-impaired, unable to hear the melody or the words. Yet the father sang anyway, in a beautiful, tender act of love toward his son. And his efforts were rewarded with a delightful smile from his little boy. 

The imagery of the father-son exchange bears a striking resemblance to the words of Zephaniah. The Old Testament prophet says that God will joyfully sing over His daughter, the people of Jerusalem (Zephaniah 3:17). God enjoys doing good things for His beloved people, such as taking away their punishment and turning back their enemies (v. 15). Zephaniah says they no longer have any reason for fear and instead have cause for rejoicing.

We, as God’s children redeemed by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, sometimes are hard of hearing—unable, or perhaps unwilling, to tune our ears to the exuberant love God sings over us. His adoration of us is like that of the young father, who lovingly sang to his son despite his inability to hear. He has taken away our punishment too, giving us further reason to rejoice. Perhaps we might try to listen more closely to hear the joy ringing loudly in His voice. Father, help us to hear Your loving melody and savor being held safely in Your arms. Reflect & Pray

What keeps you from hearing God? How can you tune your ears to hear His delight in you?

Thank You, God, for taking great delight in me. May I always listen to your voice as You joyfully sing over me.

Howdy, Kathy.

Did you manage to have a restful day today? Maybe kick back and watch some of your recorded shows on the new big screen TV?

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

Were y’all able to complete that big yard project this weekend?

[PROCON]

Hiya radu!

Well yes and no.

It was great cool, clear weather but cutting up the tree, or actually large bushy tree and all the preparation took longer than we thought.

I was manning the chainsaw but since I'm kneeling or bending down to cut, I had to rest the old back every 10 minutes or so.

But we did get all the wood cut down and cut into manageable pieces.

Next weekend is when we work on actually replacing the fence.

Anything happening your way?
