For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the humble with salvation. Let the godly exult in glory, let them sing for joy on their beds. (Psalm 149:4-5)
God doesn’t get the most glory out of the submission of slaves, but from the celebration of sons and daughters. His greatest desire isn’t that people would obey Him out of the fear of punishment, but that they would worship Him out of delight at the reward of His pleasure.
He is a loving Father who wants the greatest good and the deepest joy for His children, and He knows that these things only come when we walk in fellowship with Him.
So, let God Himself be your treasure today, and as you do, you can have confidence that you’re pleasing Him because of this truth.
God is delighted when you delight in Him.
