Occasionally I struggle with insomnia, and I never know when it might hit me. The other night I got up and read for a while and still, I struggled to settle down. As I lay in bed, a song I had listened to earlier in the day began to run through my mind, and the lyrics spoke to me in that moment. The song begins with these words from Matthew 11:28: “Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest.” The song refers to this verse from Zephaniah:
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
Imagine that! Our God is always with us and delights in us, His children. What a peace washed over me as I thought of God being right there with me. But what God says next was the remedy I needed. “He’ll quiet you with his love and rejoice over you with singing.” I contemplated that truth and felt peace down to the depths of my soul. The reality that God rejoices over me brought deep comfort, and I slept soundly until morning.
I hope you’ll take time to listen to this beautiful song by Rebecca St. James.
