I get weepy when I read this section. These word pictures pierce my heart in all the best ways.
Read these words out loud:
My God is with me.
My God saves me.
My God rejoices over me with gladness.
My God delights in me with singing.
Now, is there a lump in your throat? Do you want to burst into song? Do you want to shout for joy? Are you glad? When we live in right relationship with our Father God, it brings joy to His heart! Knowing that we’re pleasing the One who loves us and saves us and protects us and guides us should bring joy to our hearts. Yes, the Sovereign Lord God dwells among us. Rejoice in His love knowing He will deliver us through our tough times.
