The Lord your God is in your midst, A Warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with joy; He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins], He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
Dear Ones: Shouts of Joy! WOW! The Lord sings over His people with shouts of joy. Oh, how wonderful to know that we can bring joy to Him even as we walk out our daily lives. When He looks at us, He sees us as He created us to be: conformed to the image of the Son. (See Romans 8:29.)
Isaiah 62:5, NKJV, confirms to us that, “And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So shall your God rejoice over you.” In 1828, Mr. Webster defined what it means to rejoice in this way: To experience joy and gladness in a high degree; to be exhilarated with lively and pleasurable sensations; to exult. Stop and think. The Creator of all things looks at you and becomes exhilarated with lively pleasure. Doesn’t that make you want to return His love and joy with the same high degree of passion.
Declare: “Dear God, I answer Your shouts of joy, with my shouts of love and thanksgiving. Help me to sing (in tune) with You so that our harmony will fill the atmosphere with Your love. My heart overflows with the knowledge that You have created me to bring You joy. Enable me to share this exhilarating experience with others to bring glory to You. Praise the Lord.” Have a good shouting day in Jesus’ name.
