'The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy' (Psalm 147:11).
When we recognised the Lord, that He is God, we will be humbled as we stand before him with reverence, in awe of his love and greatness. How do you feel when the Lord takes pleasure or delight in you? God's heart is full of love and compassion towards his children, who hope in his mercy as displayed in Christ. It behoves us to praise God constantly for who he is and his merciful and loving care over us. He delights in all those who humbly trust in his steadfast love; those who have a heart that truly loves, reverences, and adores Him. God sees and delights in those who demonstrate trust in him. He delights in the strength of grace of which he is please to own, through our faith in Christ. As believers, we should seek to exhibit a holy fear of God, that is, a reverence of his majesty and a complacency of his goodness. We must seek to hope in His mercy as we reverence Him. It is an awesome feeling to know that the Lord, the great God of the universe, the King of glory delights in us sinners, and that we can bring pleasure to His heart when we obey him. Therefore, it should fill our hearts with explicable joy that propels us to praise and give Him glory. Let us seek to reverence the Almighty God and worship him from a heart that is overflowed with gratitude. Remember that God takes pleasure in creating us and has made each of us unique and for a specific purpose. We are indeed His Masterpiece and was created anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do good things He planned for us long ago (Ephesians 2:10). Let us seek to enjoy his presence each day, to be a blessing to others as we radiate God's love, and endeavour to make the right choices, having confidence in the Sovereign Lord. Let us seek to trust the Lord more and have confidence as we experience His pleasure and worship Him.
Have a wonderful day🌹🌹
'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
