I AM DELIGHTFUL - Psalm 18:19
"He delivered me, because He delighted in me".
DEVOTIONAL
Have you ever considered that God delights in you? Not just tolerates you, not just loves you out of obligation, but takes joy in who you are. The same God who created the universe looks at you with affection, joy, and delight.
Psalm 147:11 reminds us, "The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love." This means His delight isn’t based on your perfection or performance—it’s based on your trust in Him. You don’t have to strive to be enough—you already are in His eyes.
Isaiah 62:4 declares, "No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, for the Lord will take delight in you." No matter what your past says, God has renamed you, redeemed you, and rejoices over you.
Today, walk with confidence knowing that you are delightful to God. He smiles when He thinks of you, He sings over you, and His love for you is unshakable.
