The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. Psalm 147:11
The Lord’s delight, His great pleasure, is not in what we have accomplished under our own strength, but rather, our reverence for His sovereign authority over all creation. Our only hope comes through God’s faithful and unending love, through which we find salvation and security.
Psalms 146-150 are titled ‘Hallelujah’ Psalms. They each begin and end with the word hallelujah, interpreted, ‘praise the Lord.’ It is a climatic closing to the entire book of Psalms echoed in the 19th chapter of Revelation. Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, and 6 tell of the multitude in Heaven shouting ‘Hallelujah,’ salvation and glory are His. He reigns!
You are His delight and that is something to be grateful for. Thanksgiving should always be our voice in praise. Humble gratitude is the purest and most appropriate response, for He has done great things.
Love,
