Delight


Yesterday, I saw a father on the golf course with his young son.  Dad was the “caddy” tending the kid size golf bag with the kid size golf clubs.  The father was there patiently watching and encouraging, delighting in his son as the boy tried out his budding golf skills. 

God, as our Father delights in us. He enjoys watching us play, have fun and learn new skills.  He is not an austere, strained and strict father, but an extravagant one who gives us so much to enjoy.  As we take time to gratefully enjoy his gifts, God is pleased.  Our Dad joins with us and delights in us as we play, learn and grow.   

He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
Zeph 3:17 (NIV)
