‘God is so boundlessly pleased with Jesus that in Him He is altogether well pleased with us.’ – Charles Spurgeon
The pleasure of God is fixed immovable on Christ. For every Christ follower, our life is hidden with Christ in God (Col 3:3). And everything true of Christ is now true of us.
God delights over us with singing (Zeph 3:17).
He has raised us from death to life, and seated us with Christ (Eph 2:6).
We are His children, and if children, then heirs – heirs of God and fellow heirs of Christ (Rom 8:17).
As Christ followers we never gravel our way into God’s presence – we live ever in His presence (Ps 91, Ps 139). And we carry His presence in our going out and coming in (Ps 121:8).
God, thank you for making a way for us to be your children. Jesus, thank you for your completed perfect work, and for being our brother who shares in Your inheritance. Spirit, thank you for sealing us – enable us to believe that we are the beloved of God. In Christ’s name, Amen.
From delight,
