Day 149 - The Lord's Delight

Daily Reading:  Psalm 145-147

He takes no pleasure in the strength
of a horse
or in human might.
No, the Lord's delight is in those who fear him,
those who put their hope in his
unfailing love.
Psalm 147:10, 11

Footnote:

We spend much effort trying to sharpen our skills or increase our strength.  There is nothing wrong with doing so, and in fact, our gifts can be used to glorify God.  But when we use our skills with no regard for God, they are indeed worth little.  It is our fear (reverence) and trust that God desires.  When he has those, then he will use our skills and strengths in ways far greater than we can imagine.
