Psalms 147.11
The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy.
The Lord takes pleasure or in other words He is well pleased, He treasures, favours and delights in those who fear him and trust his mercy. One translation says He enjoys and values them. Think about that.
To fear him simply means to give him honour and respect in every area of your life. He enjoys and greatly delights in people who honour him in their speech, in their work place, in their colleges, amongst their friends, in their marriage relationship and other areas of their life. Joseph's brothers put him in a pit but God delivered him and made him the prime minister of the largest economy of the world at that time. But when his brothers came to him for help, Joseph didn't punish them or accuse them, He forgave them and by doing so He honoured God. Honoring God is a choice you will have to make for yourself. God is looking for people, His word says he is seeking for those who honour him with their hearts so that He can show himself strong on their behalf.
Friend, Jesus said I always please my Father. Make it a sole objective of your life to give God honour in every area of your life and in everything you do even if no one is watching. Give weight to his words just like you would give much thought and weight to the words of a doctor or a lawyer or a trusted friend and do what the word says. The biggest honour you can give God is paying close attention to His word and doing exactly what He says. He enjoys it and is well pleased with it.
