GOD IS LIKE OUR PARENTS

The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. (Zephaniah 3:17 ESV) There is something to be said about the role of parents in our life. Ideally, No matter how bad it is - we should always be able to go home and receive comfort and encouragement from the stress we all go through. They should be our cheerleaders and motivators to keep trying and reaching for your God-given dreams. As I look at this passage about God - in a way, He's like that in our lives - nurturer - protector - motivator - cheerleader. He is on the sidelines of your game saying, "You can do it, you can do it. Hang in there!" He's like the parent who shouting up in the stands - "That's my boy, that's my girl.". God, your God is proud of you today and wants the very best for you. He loves you enough to be tough on you at times and He loves you enough to push you that you might be able to do your very best for Him. He so wants to sing over you with joy today. Don't push away from Him but rush to Him and be safe in His arms today.
