Psalm 149 verses 4-5 (NIV)
For the LORD takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
Let his faithful people rejoice in this honour
and sing for joy on their beds.
The verses that caught my attention today follow on really from those of yesterday. We are reminded that as His followers, God takes delight in us. How amazing is that?
Therefore it is right for us to do as the psalmist’s tells us to do – to rejoice in this honour, for that’s what it is, and to praise God. So as we count down towards the end of the year, let’s remember to do just that!
Dear Lord,
Help me never to take this honour of your delight in us for granted. Fill my heart with the praise that is Your due. Amen.
