Title: In Jesus Christ God delights in you.
"And they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.'"Numbers 14:7-9 NKJV
In Jesus Christ God delights in you. That is why His word says in John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
”Point of reflection:
He wants you to believe and stand firm on His word and His promises. He wants to show you that He is good. He wants you to experience His joy, peace, loving kindness and His mercies which are new every morning. The opposite of faith is fear. That is why in the story we read above most of the children of Israel failed to believe God and to understand His attributes- that He is Holy, faithful, righteous and just (Psalms 89:14).Therefore choose faith in God, faith in His word and faith in His attributes, faith in His faithfulness all the time and faith in His promises. Celebrate His faithfulness. Remember He delights in you.
Are you ready acknowledge His goodness upon your life?
Prayer of consecration:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for your grace and mercy. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for me. I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from today. Thank you for delighting in me and for giving me the gift of eternal life. I set myself apart to do your will and your desire because I know you delight in me. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
