God's Delight

God delights in the covenant, and so we are sure He will not turn back from it. It is the joy of His holy heart. He delights to do His people good. To pass over transgression, iniquity, and sin is the recreatino of Jehovah. Did you ever hear of God singing? It is extraordinary that the Divine One would solace Himself with song, yet a prophet has thus revealed the Lord to us:

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

How the promises of God and His holy covenant should be implanted in our minds and hearts with such foundation that we could bring them to thought instantaneously! God is good and He keeps His word. What more do we need to motivate us to embed ourselves in it.
