One Year Bible – Day 362

S – The Lord values those who fear him, those who put their hope in his faithful love

Psalms 147:11 CSB

O – “Values” – râtsâh, to be pleased with; spec. to satisfy a debt:— (be) accept (-able), accomplish, set affection, approve, consent with, delight (self)… reconcile self.

The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words 

A – The Lord is pleased and reconciles us back to him when we revere and show awe in him.  He satisfied our debt of sin through Jesus on the cross.  We can walk in hope because he displayed his love for us before we demonstrated our love for him.

R – Heavenly Father, we stand in awe and reverence of you.  Thank you for paying the price for our sins on the cross.  We desire to know you more today.  Help us to see the expression of your delight in us in our relationship.
