The Lord detests men of perverse heart, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.

—Prov 11:20

• Most of us know the feeling of joy and delight when we see a loved one after a long absence or meet a distant friend.

• Just as we know that experience, so too does God express delight in certain people.

• It is both humbling and sobering to realize that we have the ability to bring pleasure and joy to God. Who are we that we should have any effect upon God? But truth be told, he finds pleasure in us when we live our lives according to his commands. How humbling to be so honored!

• Reflect on God, who delights in those whose hearts are right with him. May the thought of his smiling face looking down on you bring you joy today.
