The Father is Delighted in You

Is your Father angry that he has to rescue you again? How does he feel about you? Keep Reading...

​Psalm 18:19 NIV - "He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me."  

I traveled to the Badlands in South Dakota, USA with my college roommate long ago. In our youthful zeal, we wandered through the maze of canyons without food or water. After two hours we were stuck with no way out. It wasn't until a park ranger came over the crest of a canyon that we were found and rescued. And the ranger led us out of the canyon in fifteen minutes. It helps to know the way out! 

After being led out of the canyons, the park ranger told us that typically he would charge for every rescue. But he let us off. 

Your heavenly Father never charges you for a rescue, AND he knows the way out! In fact, he delights in saving you, in setting you free. You are not a problem to him. 

The Father is watching your every move. When he sees you lost and in pain, he parts the heavens and comes down. He scatters your enemies with bolts of lightening. Your Father reaches down and takes hold of you. He does all of this because he delights in you. 

Trust your Father who loves you when you're lost and when you're not. Believe that he delights in you.
