Today is opening convocation at my school. One of the things that I like about this is that we will sing our school hymn. It was a hymn written for us. The chorus is based on Zephaniah 3:17. This weekend at the Beth Moore Simulcast she taught about delighting in the Lord and how he also delights in us. I can't remember if she mentioned this verse or if I just remembered it. But as I read it again this morning I am thinking how much I need to know right now that God delights in us. There is nothing here that I have to be good enough to earn. It is all his grace. I need to know that as I begin a new school year.
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."
