The Lord Delights In You – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional May 26th

(Live Conscious That You’re The Lord’s Favourite)

TO THE BIBLE: Psalm 149:4 NIV
“For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.”

LET’S TALK
Someone may read our opening verse today and wonder, “Can the Lord delight in me in spite of the things I’ve done wrong?” Well, the Bible tells us the Lord takes delight in “His people.”

What matters is that you’re “His people.” If you’re a child of God, He takes pleasure in you!

God delights in you. That means He likes you! Pause for a moment and ponder those words. This isn’t merely about God loving us, even though that truth is monumental in itself.

This is something more personal, more intimate—God likes YOU! And that knowledge that He takes pleasure in you should inspire you to always please Him.

That’s why He gave you His nature of righteousness, so you can live righteously without any struggle.

When you contemplate the depth of God’s favourable disposition towards you, it changes your outlook on life. You begin to see yourself differently. Every aspect of your life—your work, relationships, aspirations—takes on a new meaning.

Suddenly, you realize that since God likes you, it means He cares about where you are, what you do, where you live and work, who your friends are—everything about you!

Now you can see why He tells you in Matthew 6:25 NIV, “…do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear….”

Instead of having anxiety about anything, He invites you to cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7 NIV). He doesn’t want you worried about anything because you’re His beloved and He knows how to take care of His own.

Zephaniah 3:17; Ephesians 2:10; Deuteronomy 14:2

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for your gracious and loving disposition towards me. Thank you for making me your favourite; I am divinely favoured everywhere I go because you’ve beautified my life with your grace and embraced me with your loving-kindness. I thank you, Lord, for your personal love for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
