What
impresses people doesn’t impress God. The psalmist wasn’t thinking of high
performance vehicles, when he wrote about horse power, but that certainly
applies to our culture today. Even human accomplishments fall short of what
pleases God. Muscle cars and Olympians aren’t the epitome. There is nothing
wrong with either as long as things are kept in perspective.
God delights
in those who respect Him. We show God respect by trusting Him with who we are,
what we have, and what we will ever be. He doesn’t delight in machines or even people
built for speed. God delights in hearts that are fully surrendered to Him.
Our strength
is an asset only when it is surrendered to His strength. We can’t compete with
God and win. He has the advantage. But, as we ask God to take all that we have
and all that we are and use it for His purposes, He delights in us.
God isn’t
asking us to hope in nothing. He delights in those “who put their hope in his
unfailing love.” It might be hard to imagine “unfailing love,” but that is what
God offers us.
