Wednesday Thought -- December 12, 2012


Good Morning Friends,

“His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.” (Psalm 147:10-11)

God takes pleasure in you!

The one thing in God’s creation that gives Him the most pleasure is you.

It’s not the majestic mountains.  It’s not the vast oceans.  It’s not the powerful movement of a thoroughbred horse.  It’s not the strength of the lion.  All of those are good things.  All of those are God’s design and He is pleased with them.  But they are not the thing that gives God the most pleasure.

It’s not the majestic temples built in His honor.  It’s not beautiful music sung to His glory.

The one part of all of God’s creation that is capable of giving Him the most pleasure is a human being.  When you reverence and trust God, He delights in you, He takes pleasure in you.

It is also true that we can cause God the most pain when we turn away from Him.  With the capacity to cause deep pain also comes the capacity to bring great joy and pleasure.

God takes pleasure in you!

His, by Grace,

Steve
