SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 147:7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp. 8 He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. 9 He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.
10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; 11 the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
OBSERVATION: As birthdays or Christmas approach we start looking for a special gift for the people we love. We want to give them something they will enjoy. We want our gift to be special to them. So, we make note of things they say, or what gets a lingering glance. We are looking for information that we can use in choosing that perfect gift.
For people who love God enough to want to give Him a special gift, here is a passage of scripture that gives us some good insight. It tells us what delights Him, and what brings Him joy.
APPLICATION: I not only want to find out what pleases the Lord, I want to BE what pleases the Lord. May my life be a gift that pleases the Lord!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, you are amazing! I want to delight you with my life. Amen.
