![]() ![]() God wants you and me to hear His heart beating with love for us. That is how close God wants us to be to Him, like John who laid his head on Jesus’ breast. ![]() I can also see Him taking my hand in a slow dance, holding me close to Him, so close that I can even hear His strong heartbeat. So the parallel clause by contrast expresses the joy, not kept silent as this, but uttered in “singing.”īeth Jones: I love to dance, and so it is easy for me to imagine God dancing too – even at times jumping and leaping in the air, spinning around with great energy and joy. I prefer explaining it of that calm silent joy in the possession of the object of one’s love, too great for words to express: just as God after the six days of creation rested with silent satisfaction in His work, for “behold it was very good” (Genesis 1:31 2:2). And it is all over you, His beloved child. ![]() How wonderful must be the song? How breathtaking it must be to see God dance. How beautiful must be the sound of His voice. He will dance over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17Ĭan you imagine this that God is literally dancing over you with shouts of joy? Oh how we have missed this beautiful picture of God’s love.

How much more should we dance with joy since He is in our midst? He will have joy over you with loud singing. NLV: The Lord your God is with you, a Powerful One Who wins the battle. He happily rejoices over you, renews you with his love, and celebrates over you with shouts of joy. God’s Word Translation: The LORD your God is with you. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will take delight in you with gladness. Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT): For the LORD your God is living among you. Yet Zephaniah declares a breathtaking truth about God’s love. In the depth of our hearts we have failed to believe that God really loves us. O how hard it is in this generation to believe that God loves us that God cares for us that God treasures us and that God is concerned about EVERY detail of our lives. In one of the most amazing verse in Scripture, the Bible describes the deep and abiding love God has for us. ![]()
