This morning, I was definitely running late for work...I ran pretty quickly into the car, turned on the defrost, backed out of the parking spot, and turned on the radio. As usual, it was on Andrew's ESPN channel and I quickly turned it to a christian station here which has a tendency to never ever ever ever ever come in clear. Today was no different, the station had a ton of interference and was a little frustrating since it was bouncing between voices and static. When I started out of the driveway, the reception finally subsided a bit and the song "How He Loves" was playing. As I drove down the road the song kept going in and out, and the reception and static just kept interjecting itself within the song and a thought occurred to me. There are so many times in our life, that God is singing a song over us, expressing how He loves us, and the reception and static of our lives and this world get in the way. We start to be unable to hear the song He is singing over us. We let our circumstances overcloud the message He is speaking. However, the song never stops playing. The message never stops. Despite what we let fill our lives, He still sings over us. And despite whatever trials, situations, or circumstances that keep us down and disillusioned...He will always sing over us. His song of love for us never stops. It never will.
I'd like to think that the verse in Zephaniah 3:16-17 goes a little something like this...
"(You) will be told:
"Don't be afraid.
Dear (Insert your name here),
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."
He never stops singing over you. You just have to know that beneath the noise of everything else...His song is still singing.
