God wants us to stop living life on the merry go round. Sometimes He desires that we stop the merry go round and get off the ride so we can just focus on Him. It is what Abraham knew with God in his quiet time and it is what I have found there as well. The phrase in this passage "renew you with my love" can be translated..I will quiet u with my love...that is when we are in his presence we know he is our deliverer. And as he delights in us we can release that pent up tightness in our soul that comes from the stresses of life and truly rest in him. It is when we see he has no hidden agenda or pretense that we can experience the grace to both be and the room to freely become what he desires of us. That is the joy of knowing his peace and experiencing the power of transformation that comes just as Mary learned in quiet time at his feet.
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is in your midst; he is a warrior who can deliver. He takes great delight in you; he renews you by his love; he shouts for joy over you.”
