[T]he Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

Psalm 147

[T]he Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. v11

We exist to glorify God.


Then all your people will be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. Psalm 60:21

So HOW do we glorify God?  

We glorify God by 
- loving, respecting and fearing (out of respect) Him.
- praise and worship (see also posts here)
- putting our hope and trust in Him (peace, prayer)
- serving Him and others

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God full of love, compassion, mercy, patience, etc. for me even though I know I am not who You intend me to be.  Thank You Jesus for how You bless me but please forgive me for my worry and stress.  Help me overcome such sin and turn towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Help me love others as You love me.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give me strength.  Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo.  Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin...and serve You.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
