He delighted in me!

2Samuel 22:20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

David knows that God has delivered him. He knows that God has been very good to him. The thing that most strikes me is that David says that the reason that God did all of that was that God delighted in David.

That is true of us today. Those of us that are born again are His delight. He has chosen us. We are the apple of His eye. He has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places.

For a long time I used to read this and wish that I could think that He delighted in me. Then I would think about how many times that I have failed God and how I know that I am not all I should be so God couldn’t delight in me.

Then as I have preached through the book of Ephesians I have learned some beautiful truths. He does love me. He does delight in me.

Not because of who I am but because of who He is. Can you imagine it. He loves us. He delights in us. He is not mad at us. He is not watching us like a high school teacher just looking for a mistake.

If you are born again He really does love you. He delights in you. He is good to you.

Thank God for us goodness to us.
