Psalm 147

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.

Its not in what you can do that He delights

Its not in what you achieve

Its not even in what you are

What does He desire?

What does He want?

Not what do I or you want?

What does He want?

For in knowing the answer to this you find the answer to what you want.

If He delights in Himself and He is still totally humble and holy

How amazing must He be?

Father, Son, Spirit

Delighting in each other

For each give to each other with no hesitation

Each love without merit

Each glorify without end

If Jesus can delight in doing only what the Father wants how much more should I delight in putting all my hope in His unfailing love.

Un...........failing.........

The psalms loves putting things in couplets - ie. saying the same thing twice in two different ways

So He is not into the strength of the things we own - horses

He is not into your legs....or where you can go or what you can do - your ability

So what he wants is for you to Fear Him

Which is to put your Hope in Him which is all of your wanting being placed in His unfailing Love

So what he wants is for you to Hope in Him

Which is to fear Him which is realizing He is what this 'whole thing' is about and loving that

Don't love that?

Simply turn back to Him and behold His glory

Repent.

The gift of repentance is the gift to know Him.

Right now that gift is before you to be opened.

Something like this "Jesus you are God....and I am sorry.....forgive me Lord....thankyou....you know my heart...I place my faith, hope and love in you today....help me to follow you with all that I am...with all of my life....so that I might know you and others might see you"

Your turn.

It all hangs on this...
