“Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!

His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.”

Psalm 147:1, 10-11

You don’t have to be perfect to delight the heart of God! You don’t have to be physically attractive. You don’t have to be smart or athletic or rich or popular or funny or healthy. What you have to be is someone who recognizes your need and who puts your total trust in Him!

God does not delight in our accomplishments or in how well we perform; his heart LEAPS when we put our trust in Him. As A.W. Tozer wrote, “In our desire after God let us always keep in mind that God also has desire, and His desire is toward people, and more particularly toward those people who will make the once-for-all decision to exalt Him over all. Such as these are precious to God above all treasures of earth or sea. In them God finds a theatre where He can display His exceeding kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. With them God can walk unhindered; toward them He can act like the God He is! ~ Jan Dravecky
