He Is with You
The LORD your God is with you. The mighty one will save you. He will rejoice over you. You will rest in his love. He will sing and be joyful about you. Zephaniah 3:17 NCV
Your hearts need to be prepared for this devotion by Sara Perry (Jesus First) so I started with her amazing prayer.

Jesus, thank You for the reminder of Your delight. You don’t just help me because You see my need. You are compelled by overwhelming love that is full of joy. I want to walk in the same kind of love and live with purpose, delight, and peace in all I do. AMEN.
No matter what you are facing today, take courage in the faithfulness of God. The Lord your God is with you. He will never leave you or forsake you. The mighty One will save you. The all-powerful God is your salvation and help
He will rejoice over you. The Lord your God not only saves you, but He delights in doing it! He rejoices at the chance to show you His love in tangible ways. You will rest in his love. There is not greater peace than the peace of His powerful presence. He is with you even now. Lean back and find rest in the confidence of His power. He will sing and be joyful about you. As you rest in Him, let His songs of loving delight wash over you and be your comfort and strength. Oh, how He loves you!

What assurance! He is with us wherever we go. Whether it’s in our daily doings, at the doctor’s office, when the policeman pulls you over, when the promotion comes, or just that longed for, quiet minute of peace arrives, we are not alone.
When He thinks about each of us, He sings with delight. Now, that is an amazing thought. It’s not a song we recognize, for it is a joyful melody that comes from deep within His heart. I long to hear it for each utterance is probably different.
To think that He sings with joy over us is almost beyond comprehension, but it is written. In those moments, we relate to an unbreakable and unshakeable bond. And that gives me peace and joy. How about you?
