Laugh and rejoice and again I say rejoice. Now to be truthfully honest with you, when I see the word rejoice it makes me think of an antiquated word from upteen years ago - BUT, when you look it up in the Hebrew and break it down to it's true meaning, the word all the sudden becomes 'cool' again. I know, I'm mental. haha! The hebrew meaning of the word rejoice is to spin around in a violent force. Okay, so then you can break that down and think of the times in the book of Psalms where God says that He rejoices over you - think about it. He means, "I am spinning around you in a violent force!" He's not just sitting there, quietly, paying half attention to you and every once in a while saying, "Great job!" No, He's up and surrounding you with a violent force because that's how much He loves us.
In case if you were wondering, this week has had it's sour cherries moments - of all weeks, a week ago my den flooded 50%, then 2 days later, my husband hurt his back and has been practically immobile since, and then I had my nephew arrive at our house on Monday to live with us for the rest of this school year. Too much 'drama' for just one week!! :) Now, my nephew is not a bowl of sour cherries! lol! He's a pure delight to have in our household. So, when the times have come as we eventually put our Den back together AND my husband (hahahahaha!), I can't forget that my God know's right where I am and is rejoicing over me saying, "You can do it Tracee, you can do it!" Ah, it's better than a calgon bath!!
"Don't be afraid. Dear Zion, don't despair. 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." Zephaniah 3:17
That's good - He will calm you with his love and delight you with his songs. It doesn't get any better than that.
Smiles,
Tracee, rejoicing with a violent force! Okay, I'm not going to mess my hair up. haha!
