May 17 Morning: "He will rest in His love" - Zeph 3:17

"HE WILL JOY OVER THEE WITH SINGING." The Lord our God will rejoice over us with joy, such is His love for us. God's love endures. Man's love is changeable, being a passion; 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 set 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. O 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, or the shadow of a doubt. 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, and His portion and delight for evermore. O the riches of 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 His everlasting arms we may repose in peace.

For Meditation:
The covenant of grace all blessing secures;
Believer, rejoice, for all things are yours;
Our God from His purpose shall never remove,
But love thee, and bless thee, with heaven above.
