Zephaniah 3:17 MSG
“Your God is present among you, a strong Warrior there to save you. Happy to have you back, He’ll calm you with His love and delight you with His songs.”
We have many relationships in our lives. All day long, we are surrounded by people who are something to us: parents, teachers, friends, sports coaches, mentors, and more. But do you know what the most important relationship is?
Despite what the world will tell you nowadays, it’s not your relationship to yourself. The fellowship that determines your well-being is your relationship with God.
God is with you. He is there in every moment - when you are alone and when you are in a crowd of people. He works all things out on your behalf if you trust Him. Your God wants to save you. He has your back because He loves you.
Take-away:
A.W. Tozer : “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for loving me and delighting in me - even when I cannot find anything good in myself. My worth is found in You. All my other relationships will be healthy and good if I start with this relationship: between me and You. Show me what You see when You look at me. Amen
