'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🌹🌹
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
