The Lord Delights In His People

Falls River, L'Anse, Michigan

For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. (Psalm 149:4 NIV)
 
It is amazing to me that the Lord would take delight in any of us. But, he does. We are all sinful and unclean. We all turn our backs on Him in so many ways; choosing things of this world before him. Our priorities become fulfilling our or our loved ones' desires. But, he does. He does delight in His people. He delights in all who believe His promises. He delights in all who trust in His Son, Jesus, for their salvation. He delights in those who, in humility, recognize that they have sinned against Him and their neighbors in thought, word, and deed for they are His people.
 
Thanks be to God for His mercy is great and His love endures forever. Amen!
 
God's Peace - Pr. Judy
