He Delights in You

Janis Van Keuren

           “He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.” Psalm 18:19; 2 Samuel 22:20 NLT

     What a humbling thought! The Lord of the universe delights in us. He delights in every detail of our lives because we are His (Psalm 37.23).
     What a gracious God! He created us to share His love. We disobeyed Him. He died to save us. We rejected Him. He reached down and rescued us. We stumble and falter. He pulls us out of the muck and mire.
     By His grace, we put our hope in His unfailing love. He directs our steps.
     He delights in us because we are His.
     Be filled with awe and praise as we meditate on Him rejoicing over us with joyful songs (Zephaniah 3:17).

     Where have you found safety provided by the Lord? How did He rescue you?

     In worshiping the Lord on a Sunday morning in Church, I was especially moved by the song, “Rescue”, written by Jared Anderson and produced by Integrity in 2003. I hope this will bless you as much as it did me.

From My Heart to Yours,

Rescue by Desperation Band

Lyrics
You are the source of life 
I can’t be left behind 
No one else will do 
I will take hold of You  
I need You Jesus, I need You Jesus  
My heart is Yours for life I need 
Your hand in mine 
No one else will do 
Lord I put my trust in You   
I need You Jesus to come to my rescue Where else can I go? 
There’s no other Name by which I am saved 
Capture me with grace I will follow You  
My heart is Yours for life I need 
Your hand in mine 
No one else will do 
Lord I put my trust in You  
This world has nothing for me (I will follow You)
Linking up with Word Filled Wednesday at the Internet Cafe Devotions

  2. Very reassuring post Janis… and such a beautiful song too. I had never heard it before, so thank you for posting it.

    Where have I found safety? Only in His arms. How did He rescue me? He saved me from myself, first of all… a broken mess whom He lovingly pulled from the miry clay, and pieced back together.

    God bless you, and hugs to Chip! Have a wonderful WFW!

  5. I think so many of us stumble on the “He delights in ME” part…doing Breaking Free right now and that is where it all begins…with the knowledge that HE wants to lead us and all we’ve got to do is humble ourselves to it…

    beautiful Janis!
    peace!

  10. Blessings Janis, I too, find much Comfort in this song and this beautiful, reassurance of your word, message and that beautiful photo!!! Just precious to see the flowers and the beauty of nature as you walk this path.

    Where I live and the trip back and forth allows me to see constantly the Lord’s safety over me. But once I arrive, even along the way, it is in music and my special time in His lap or arms that give me the sense of His wonder, Rescue, Delight! He rescues me constantly from the pit and places me on higher ground and thoughts of His glory! I loose myself in good Christian songs to break through sometimes, though I should find this in His Word, there is something that reaches me deep inside when He comes through the message of a song or a blogger! Thank you, Janis!

    Peace,
    Peggy

  12. Janis – God rescued me from some “prodigal wandering” and brought me home to His arms, His heart, and His blessings!

    He is SO GOOD!

    Blessings!
