Isaiah 58:13,14
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, holy of the LORD, honourable ; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Truly, sweet are the promises of God to those who honor that which is his! When we delight in the LORD, and do his sweet will in his own perfect time and way, the blessings tthat he promises, and gives, defy the imagination! He gives to us based on the merit of Christ, and his merit is so vast and glorious that it also defies the imagination of a mortal!
LORD, WHAT IS MAN THAT THOU ART MINDFUL OF HIM ?! And yet, we have the assurance that "the LORD taketh pleasure in his people. Praise God for his tender mercies which are new every morning!
