WANT TO IMPRESS THE LORD?

Today's reading: Psalm 146-148

"The strength of a horse does not impress him; how puny in his sight is the strength of a man. Rather, the Lord's delight is in those who honor him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love." Psalm 147:10-11 NLT

Think of this...

Mountains of grandeur don't impress God. 

Sunrises of a vast color palette don't give Him pause.

A raindrop holding a prism of light doesn't move Him to being overwhelmed.

The most exquisitely petaled flowers don't excite Him.

Scientific discoveries of the smallest of cells or vast galaxies don't do a thing for Him.

All those things are the works of His own hands. By-products of His creativity. An outpouring of His love, greatness and majesty.

What He's impressed by is obedience.

Obedience.

Obedience that stems from the hearts and minds of ones He has created. Ones He has endowed with a free will. Ones He has instructed, directed, guided and left to their own as to whether or not they will bring glory to their Creator.

Our obeying His commands honors Him and that, dear friends, causes Him to stop and take notice.

Are you impressing the Lord?
