For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.
Psalm 149:4 (ESV)
God loves me. Knew that. God saves me. Knew that. God protects me. Knew that. God enjoys my company. What?!
After many years of sermons, Bible reading, small group discussions, and radio preaches, I get that God loves, saves, and protects us. But "takes pleasure" in me? He actually enjoys my company?
The Creator of the Universe likes me. He misses me when I am not around. The Alpha and the Omega smiles when I pull up a chair to visit. His brow creases and He places a hand on my shoulder when I have bad news. He laughs when I am joyful. He reassures when I am frightened.
Wars, famine, pestilence: He still enjoys my company. Natural disasters, economic meltdowns, moral decay: He takes time to welcome me to His hearth. What an awesome truth!
