WHAT ARE WE STRIVING FOR?

'His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put hope in his unfailing love' - Psalms 147:10-11

we get upset and depressed when we are not doing well
our work, our lives as a christian
we then think we are less favoured because there are those
who are better, more talented and anointed
we give up and think God would rather work on other people more

but in the process, we may just lose focus on what really matters to God
are we barking up the wrong tree?

- God is delighted when we revere Him and when we take Him seriously and honour Him in what we do and say. it is an inward condition of our heart
- God is delighted when we trust Him, especially in difficult situations when He seems absent. it is a deliberate action we can take.

today, even if you are facing disappointments, you are no further from delighting God.
even if you are barely coping with a difficult situation, melt the Father's heart by putting hope in his unfailing love.


i love you.
