Showers of Blessings\u00a0 Day 20
\nBlessing: \u00a0God\u2019s Pleasure<\/u>
\nThe LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy. Psalm 147:11 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Message:<\/span>
\nWhen I was in high school, I had a small dog named Tammy.\u00a0 She was a mixed breed, part dachshund and part terrier, and the most faithful and loving dog I ever knew.\u00a0 She seemed to live to please me.\u00a0 Wherever I went or whatever I did she would be right by me.\u00a0 She always obeyed me and was always gentle.\u00a0 She would walk with me to the bus stop in the morning and wait with me until I got on the bus, and when I returned home in the afternoon, she would be there waiting to greet me as I got off the bus. I delighted in her so much, and I enjoyed her company for many years.
\n
\n<\/u>We who live daily to honor, respect, obey, hope in our Lord and His mercy and steadfast love are His delight!\u00a0 He enjoys our company and even rejoices over us with singing! (Zephaniah 3:17)
\nHe takes pleasure in those who fear Him.\u00a0 He\u2019s pleased with and delights in those who fear Him.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it wonderful to hear that!
\nWhat a wonderful LORD we have!\u00a0 We are so blessed to have a relationship with Him, one that will last forever and ever.<\/p>\n
