Psa 149:4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
How totally cool!!! You like to be with us. Why would you want that? The God of the Universe wanting and enjoying being with me? How awesome is that?
Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
I don’t know why but this text always reminds me of the game of hide and seek. That may sound common and cheep to say that about something that is meant to be lofty and grand. I know that this verse is serious business but…
I get a mental picture of you crouched behind a rock or big something, grinning to yourself as I search, talking to myself as I look. “Hmm. Not there. Sigh. I thought he’d be there. Tsk! Where IS He?
When I find you, you jump up with a shout of joy, give me a HUGE Daddy bear hug, and toss me in the air. As I shoot upward, arms and legs splayed, looking down at you looking up at me, I see your arms stretched upward toward me, eyes sparkling, mouth open wide in delighted laughter, and I know that it was worth it. Your delighted, joyous reception made the seeking and searching worth it.
