Psalm 147:10-11
The LORD’S pleasure is not in the
strength of the horse,
Nor His delight in the legs of a
man.
The LORD delights in those who
fear Him,
Who put their hope in His
unfailing Love.
Eric Liddell,
The missionary, turned Olympic runner…….
Had a conversation with his sister Jenny one day.
Jenny was concerned for Eric……
She worried that all this running and fame was going to his
head.
She was concerned that he had forgotten his mission.
The conversation went something like this…….
“Yes, I will return to the mission field”
Eric reassured Jenny,
“But first”……He went on to say…..
“Please realize Jenny……..
God made me fast
And when I run……”
“ I feel God’s
Pleasure.”
And all the world marveled….
As this man won a gold medal……..
And went on to China as a missionary.
Yes all the world marveled
At a man whose life was a ……..
Living, breathing, real expression……
Of The Glory of God.
Liddell understood.
Liddell did what he was gifted to do……
For the Glory of God.
And so…….
Not for his strong legs…..
But for a heart of hope……..
Hope in the unfailing Love of God……
Eric Liddell experienced the delight of The Father.
Guys,
Let’s go out with hope……
Hope in the unfailing Love of Christ…..
And so experience…..
The delight of God Himself!
Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit,
Remind me continually today of
Your Unfailing Love,
And so let me feel Your Delight.
Amen
