“Our Lord's Delight”

Friday, December 07, 2018

We all know to one degree or another what it is like to be forsaken and alone. You may be in such a place right now but, even if you’re not, hear the good news that the prophet Isaiah has for us.

“You shall no more be termed forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed desolate … for the Lord delights in you.” (Isa. 62:4)

Almighty God Takes Pleasure in Us: Our holy, infinitely loving, all-powerful God takes pleasure in us, one of His less than holy, inconsistently loving, and weak creatures. Despite the quantum differences between us and our heavenly Father, He delights in us.

God Enjoys His Fellowship with Us. God communes with the angels and saints already in heaven yet finds joy in relating to us!

God Delights in the Glory We Bring Him: We bring God glory when we share His love, worship Him, repent, serve … and the lists goes on.

Although God needs nothing, He is pleased to receive our obedience, worship, and praise. In what ways is God receiving our obedience? His Spirit will show us.  What worship and praise can we offer Him this day, this minute even?

Let us spend time with the One who delights in us; our God and Father.  Amen!
