My Soul Delights

 

"My Soul Delights ..."

I woke up this morning to the first spring rain pounding on our metal roof and splattering onto the window panes. Thunder rolled in the distance and lightning lit up our room. One of my first thoughts upon waking was God saying, “All My delight is in you.” I lay there mulling over the sweet fact that Creator of this storm delighted in me . . . me!

“All of My inner being, all of My thoughts, all of My emotions, My very breath alive in you . . . delights in you! This storm is big, it's powerful, it's strong, it's beautiful, it's overwhelmingly refreshing, it is wild . . . I AM unique, who can make Me change? I, Elohim, delight in you. You are my Beloved because you are covered in My Son who is My Beloved. My delight, My passion rages far beyond the crashing storm. My emotion stirs within My entire being and overwhelms My heart to action.”

You , Oh God, You perform what is appointed me...

Yesterday we visited the Door of Hope baby rescue home. I picked up a small baby girl and started to feed her a bottle. She ran her fingers through my hair and softly played with my face, while fixating her chocolate brown eyes on the visiting strangers. I looked down at her and my heart arose with His faithfulness that stretches to the skies, thanking Him for her life and the fact that He delights in the least of these.

Sometimes words aren't necessary. More then often they don't seem to suffice. Sometimes He just wants to delight in you as you walk together in a spring storm. I thank Him for the glimpse I had of His steadfast love and delight shinning through the life of a rescued baby.

Listen to His cry, “Rejoice in Me … I am rejoicing in you.”

Psalm 9:1, 10

I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, Elyon [O Most High] … and those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
