"delight"

What does it mean that God delights in me?
God’s response:
DT 30:9 Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your fathers,

DT 30:10 if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

- The Lord…delights in honesty. Proverbs 11.1
- The Lord… delights in those who have integrity. Proverbs 11:20
- The Lord… delights in the prayers of the upright. Proverbs 15:8
- The Lord… delights in pure words. Proverbs 15:26

How can I- a finite, sinful human being- bring delight to The Lord, the creator of the universe? Yes, and it isn’t that difficult, for He loves to delight in you. When you honor Him, obey Him, respond to His love, seek his forgiveness, and walk daily with Him, you are giving him gifts, each of which He loves. Find ways that you can delight The Lord today.

The Lord delight in His people, He crowns the humble with salvation. –Psalm 149:4
