Taking Pleasure in Me?

Psalm 149:4 NKJV:

"For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;"

Psalm 149 is a call to praise. In the first verse, we are called to sing a new song to God, a fresh offering.

In verses two and three, we are called to rejoice in God, who made us, who is our loving Father, who is our King, and to praise God with dance, with song, and with instrumental music, such as the timbrel (ancient tambourine) and the harp.

When we do these things, answer the call to praise, rejoice in God's natures, and praise him with movement, singing, and playing music, something neat happens.

God takes pleasure in us. You bring God pleasure. I bring God pleasure.

I like that.

Today is the Lord's Day. I hope you are bringing God pleasure today.

With answering the call to praise.

With rejoicing in Who God is.

With all forms of lively praise!
