“The Lord Your God is here
and mighty to save.
He will rejoice in you and quiet you with His love.
He will rejoice over you with His
song.”
Zephaniah
3:17 (NIV)
Most
mothers, whether they are musically inclined or not, will comfort their child
with a little hum or tune. One of the
sweetest things about motherhood is the extremely brief stage when our babies
are small enough to scrunch up into a little ball in between our shoulder and
chest: the sweet spot. A little rocking
motion accompanied by a tune seems to hush the fuss.
Zephaniah
tells us God sings over His children. In
His heavenly hum, God comforts our aches with sweet sounds of adoring
love. You are His child, His baby. He is Your Father. After hearing the explanation of the concept
of God having a song for each of us, my 5-year-old proudly declared, “I bet I
know what my song is!” Eager to hear
this tiny bit of insight, I questioned further.
She then said, “Jesus Loves Me.”
I agreed.
Out
of all the songs ever voiced, the message Jesus loves each one of us is the
most powerful to grasp. Without that
love, there would be no manger, no Calvary , no
salvation or daily grace. Without that
love, mothers would not be capable of loving their families. When you have a day you need a bit of
comforting, you can climb onto your Heavenly Father’s sweet spot. Love today
knowing it is only His sacrificial offering that enables you to love others.
Lord, I thank you for Your Presence
today and unconditional love for me. Thank you that You have a song for me and
that You rejoice over me. Be with all those around in need of Your comforting
today and help them to hear your sweet song in their hearts.
