He will rest in His love
Zephaniah 3:17
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.
Man’s love is
changeable, being a passions God’s love is unchangeable, being a perfection.
Having loved, He
always will love.
Nothing can occur
in time, but what He knew from eternity; consequently there can be no reason
today, why God should not love me, but what He knew would be before He sets His
heart upon me.
He fixed His love
upon us in the fore-view of all that would be done by us, or felt within us;
and connected us with Jesus, that He might never withdraw His love from us.
Oh, to be able to
say with holy John, “We have known and believed the love that God hath to us!
God is love!“
The love of God is
from everlasting to everlasting; without variableness, are the shadow of turning.
Here God resteth,
and here we should rest.
Herein is love,
that God should take such poor, vile, ungrateful, wretched creatures, and make
them the bride of His Son, the delight of His soul, and His portion forever
more.
Oh, the riches of
the divine love!
Admire it, trust
it, rejoice in it, and make it the subject of your daily meditation.
“HE WILL REST IN
HIS LOVE.“
On this rock we
may rest with confidence; on this pillow we may repose in peace.
The cov’nant of grace all
blessings secures,
Believer, rejoice, for all
things are yours;
And God from His purpose shall
never remove,
But love thee, and bless thee
then rest in His love.
James Smith
