Exult With Joy

The LORD your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy. Zephaniah 3:17  

This prophesy is a future blessing for the Jews. How wonderful for them that the Lord is not only “in their midst” but that He is rejoicing over them! Rejoicing! I see that as kind of like the Prodigal Son. (See Luke 15:10-32.)  In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10. The son who spent his inheritance realized what a good life His Father offered him…and he returned home, repentant. That’s how it will be for the Jews who turn to God at the end of time. He will rejoice over them and restore them to their position as His chosen people. The Holy Spirit will be in that rejoicing, too. With all the tribulations that the Jews have had throughout history it is so wonderful to see that things will turn out good for them in the end.    

Prayer ~ Dear Lord, I rejoice with You over Your promise to the Jews—what a blessing You are to them…and they are to You.
