Rejoicing


The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

Rejoicing 
 Although Zephaniah and his contemporary prophet spoke of the wrath of God on rebellious people, they also spoke of a God who will be merciful and compassionate to those who are faithful to him. Jesus also said that there is great rejoicing over one sinner that repents. Jesus illustrated this in the parable of the prodigal son.
