Psalm 149:4-5. “For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.” GOD’S PLEASURE. He made them, yet they failed Him He maintained them, yet they forsook Him He loved them, yet they ignored Him Still, God found pleasure in His people.
He led them, yet they wandered He fed them, yet they squandered He protected them, yet they floundered Still, God found pleasure in His people.
He protected them while they slept His promises to them, He faithfully kept He fought battles for them, though they were inept Still, God found pleasure in His people.
He still keeps and provides for the needs of His own He intercedes for them constantly before God’s throne He has promised them to share His eternal home Still, God finds pleasure in His people.
When we pray, He is there to answer our prayers When we wander away, He finds us there When we hunger, from His fullness He willingly shares Still, God finds pleasure in His people.
When we join as one His people to praise When we listen carefully to what His Word says When we thank Him unitedly for all His grace; Still, God finds pleasure in His people.
“This song of restoration, Father, is to me a genuine reminder of where we are now and where we will be in times yet to come. I take great pleasure in being able in some little way to bring Thee pleasure. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
