Psalm 18:13-19 “The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire. He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts. Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me. They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.”

Has God ever drawn you out of many waters? Do you feel that God delights in you? Maybe you aren’t in the place you think you should be with God. Israel frequently wasn’t, but God continued to be faithful and was always there when they turned back to Him. Why? Because they were His and He delights in His own! Which means God delights in you too.

Psalm 149:4 “For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.”

Isaiah 62:3-4 “You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand. You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate anymore; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.”

Zephaniah 3:17 “The LORD, your God, is amongst you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.”
