This week's study includes one of my favorite verses. (OK, one of about 25 "favorites"!)
Zephaniah 3:17
"The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet [you] with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
The LORD God, the Mighty One, will
1. be here in the middle of the mess
2. save me
3. rejoice over me with gladness
4. quiet me with His love
5. rejoice over me with singing
What response do I give to all that?
I think my one word would be relief. What one word response to all that is on your mind? (Amazement? Disbelief? Suspicion? Gratitude?) Feel free to share your word in a comment.

One word huh??? I have a hard time only writing one word.... but here goes. If it has to only be one word, the one word is:
AWE!
I am in awe that the Mighty One would continually do all of those things for me. Why? But I know... it's because He delights to love me!
Gratitude. Deep gratitude. How wonderful our Lord is to do all of that for me. I chose "be with me in the mess" on the poll, but I love "sing to me" as well. Isn't that an awesome image?
I was so glad to have your comment on my blog. I laughed when I read that you found me when clicking on "gardening". I do have some flower and nature photos, and I am trying to learn more about gardening. I have gotten a lot better. My husband used to say that I had a black thumb! I also checked out your gardening blog. You have some gorgeous photos. I hope you don't mind if I come back for a visit!
