Psalm 30:5b
..."Weeping may endure for a night buy joy comes in the morning."The word "joy" here in hebrew is rinnah. It means a shout of rejoicing; shouting; loud cheering in triumph; singing. Rinnah describes the kind of joyful shouting at the time of great victory. It also describes dancing for joy.
Zeph. 3:17
"The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will dance over you with with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will dance over you with singing."
God literally dances over us, and His love for us is so great. This amazes me to think that God would sing, dance, and rejoice over me. This makes me want to love Him back in this way. We love Him because He first loved us.
Hab. 3: 18-19
"Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills."
The word joy here is a different hebrew word...gil. It means dancing for joy, or leaping for joy. It literally means to spin around with intense motion. God dances for joy over Jerusalem and because of His people in Isaiah 65:19 and Zeph 3:17.
Everything was going wrong in Habakkuk's world, but he chooses to leap and dance for joy because he has fellowship with Yahweh. In our lives, we have to chose to love Him and rejoice in Him even though our world might be crashing down around us. God's love for us in unchanging, unending, and unconditional. He loves you so much. He rejoices over you. He dances over you. He sings over you.
Lord...I'm amazed by You.
