God's Delight

His delight is not in the strength of the horse,
Nor His pleasure in the legs of a man,
But the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
In those who hope in His steadfast love.
--Psalm 147:10-11

I am so thankful that I don't follow a God who is as easily awed as I am.  A strong person, a famous person, an able or talented person can easily turn my head.  In contrast, God does not delight in human strength.  Instead, He takes pleasure in people who revere His strength.  The humble, fearful servant is God's delight.  The one who hopes fully in Him is a pleasure for Him to know.

I want to be a humble, hopeful, God-fearing human being--a person who God is happy to know.
