Weekly Reflection


“The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing.” — Zephaniah 3:17 (ESV)

This verse reveals something amazing about God's heart: He is not only with us—He rejoices over us. He isn’t just our Savior; He is our loving Father who takes delight in His children.
God’s presence brings strength and salvation, yes, but also joy and gentleness. He quiets our hearts with His love and surrounds us with songs of joy. His love isn’t distant or passive—it’s personal, joyful, and full of affection.
Take a moment this Sabbath to rest in this truth. You are seen, loved, and celebrated by your God.

Reflection Questions:
  1. How does knowing that God rejoices over you change how you see yourself?
  2. What can you do today to rest more fully in His love and presence?
