The Lord in the midst of thee

Zephaniah (3:17, KJV) is a famous verse, and one worth memorizing.

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.

This short verse promises that God is near to us, but it goes beyond that. The verse also highlights that God takes great joy in us, and that is something that's easy to lose sight of.

Let us take comfort not only in God's nearness, but also in his declaration that he delights in our very existence.
