| “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” |
| —Zephaniah 3:17 |
When we think about God, how do we picture Him in our mind? Maybe we think of Him as a benign Creator, One who loves us, One who has saved us from our sins, One who cares for us, nurtures us, and helps us. He is certainly all those things. But, He is also a Mighty Warrior.
Notice how the Prophet Zephaniah speaks of God in Zephaniah 3:17:
“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
Because we know from 1 Peter 5:8 that Satan desires to destroy us, we should also realize that to protect and save us we need a Mighty Warrior. God is such a One. And, one of His powerful weapons is the powerful voice He uses to sing over us.
Have you ever found yourself in a scary situation where you almost automatically began to sing? I have and I found that singing brings great comfort and even a bit of courage. Thus it is, when God begins to sing over us. Satan hears the voice of God and runs away in terror.
I believe that God’s voice has a sweetness to it, a lovely expression of melodic line, a tenderness, yet a firmness and a strength. I believe that God can out-sing the finest voice on our planet. I believe God’s voice in singing can bring such a peaceful calmness, that all who hear it will lay down at His feet and sense how protected they are from all harm. I also believe that God’s singing voice has enormous power to dispel all evil and vanquish any foe that might try to come against those God loves.
As we begin a new day, let’s imagine God singing over us and take great comfort from His love expressed in this amazing and powerful way.
