“The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.” Psalm 147:11 (NIV)
It is our purpose to please God and to praise him. We can do this by how we live. Our God has done so much for us that our supreme desire should be to please Him. We learn from our verse today a promise from God and a means to please Him. We've mentioned that when the Bible speaks of fearing God it means showing Him the respect which He deserves. This is what God expects of us and when we do show Him respect and reverence and awe, He is pleased with us. Our God also wants us to remember that He loves us and always will loved us. He wants us to know and expect Him to act in love toward us. Even when things do not seem to be going our way, He wants us to remember that He loves us and we have reason to expect Him to demonstrate His love. If we do that, He will be pleased and delighted as our verse says. This is one way we can know to please our promise giving God today.
