“He delighteth not in the strength of the
horse; he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. The Lord taketh pleasure in
them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.” Psa 147:10-11
The
horse in amongst the noblest of all the creations of God (Job 39:19-25) and man,
whom God gave dominion over such creations, even greater; and yet God takes no
pleasure in either’s strength or physical accomplishment. Instead His pleasure
is found in our ability to humble ourselves to His will and place our hope in
His mercy and love. Your strengths and gifts are God’s favour towards you, such
acknowledgment and use of them is your gift to God. If in your humility you reduce yourself to God
being your only hope, you’ve found your greatest strength. Fear only that which
has no fear of God
Obedience
is the evidence of true fear.
