Have you ever been so excited that you just felt like shouting?

Surely most of you in here have let out a big “woohoo!” a time or two in your life

Sing! This passage shows great joy. So much so we should burst forth in song!

I get so tired of us Christians who jump and shout and scream during a meaningless football game

And we won’t even shout out a good “AMEN!” in a church service. The Holy God should excite you!

The LORD is in your midst!

That ought to make you shout with praise, or maybe fear, if you’ve been living wrongly.

Don’t stop there however, the LORD is in our midst, with power to save!

We have committed sin which dooms us to eternal Hell, BUT GOD, shows up with the power to save!

God takes Joy in you!

You know I am messed up there is no way God could be joyful in me.

You can rest in His love!

This is the craziest thought ever….. God sings over you

Our messed up view of this stoic, rock faced God, sitting on His throne, makes it hard to think that God would sing

“He will rejoice over you with shouts of Joy”

You make God so joyful he breaks out in song!!

We often think we have failed so badly that God is annoyed with us but here we see God sings over us.

Fear NOT!
God loves YOU

Because of God’s great love “do not let your hands fall limp”

Don’t grow weary in your service to God

Rejoice!!

Sing praises, tell others, serve Him in every way because He saved you.

But all the downfalls I’ve had and the evil people that are never punished.

Rejoice!!
God will defeat the enemy!

He will gather His people to Himself

Rejoice! Show the world that you know the LORD is in our midst and He is mighty to save!

God has NEVER abandoned His people and He never will!

Perhaps you can’t seem to Rejoice today

I ask you this question…Do you know Jesus?

Have you truly given your life to Him?

Rejoice, Rejoice oh people of God!!
