Zephaniah 3:17
God's will is that He rejoices over us.
We are God's idea, God's creation, God's intention.
Genesis 1:26
God had us come into existence that we may bring Him glory.
You are alive for the purposes of God.
When a product is functioning the way it should function that product will bring the manufacturer joy.
When a plant brings forth fruit, that plant is producing as the farmer who planted it intended for it to produce.
That makes the farmer happy, the harvest from his crops brings him joy in the season of harvest.
Psalm 126:5
Rejoicing and dancing is the outward display of joy and happiness.
Farmers celebrate and rejoice during the season of harvest.
In scripture, God is likened to a farmer or husbandman.
Jesus Christ is referred to as the stem of the farmers plant/tree.
While we, those connected to Jesus are the branches.
The branches are where the fruit manifests.
The branches are where the fruits of most trees hang from.
God's will is that you will be a fruitful branch that bears fruit.
John 15: 1-5
When God looks at your life, what does He see?
Does He see fruit that can make Him rejoice?
Jesus Christ sought fruit on a fig tree when He was hungry.
When He got to the fruit tree it didn't have figs which it should have produced.
Instead of the fig tree bringing Jesus joy it brought disappointment.
Does you life bring God joy or disappointment?
The disappointment attracted the curse of Jesus!
Matthew 21:18-22
Our lives should bring God joy, that is how God is glorified.
When God finds fruit in your life it brings Him joy, it glorifies Him.
The fruits God expects to find in our lives are dual- physical fruits and spiritual fruits.
Spiritual fruits expected in our lives are the fruits of the Spirit.
Spiritual fruits makes us Christ-like, in the image of God's Son.
Galatians 5:22,23
Physical fruits are answers to prayers, our testimonies, and the way we are living/building our lives.
Exodus 25: 9
When God finds fruit in us, when God sees Jesus in us, when God sees we are building our lives according to His heavenly pattern or blueprint He rejoices.
He celebrates us.
He dances.
The dance of God over a life and destiny is favor from God to that life and destiny.
May God favor you!
