“HE DELIGHTED IN ME!”

 Psalm 18:17-21                      (ESV)

    “[17] HE rescued me from my STRONG ENEMY

        and from THOSE WHO HATED ME,

        for THEY WERE TOO MIGHTY for me. 

    [18] They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

        but THE LORD was my support. 

    [19] HE brought me out into a broad place;

        HE rescued me, because “HE DELIGHTED IN ME”.

    [20] The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness;

        according to the cleanness of my hands HE rewarded me. 

    [21] For I have kept the ways of the LORD,

        and have not wickedly departed from my GOD.”

Because JESUS CHOSE me “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:4), and “HE DELIGHTED IN ME” even though I was a flawed creation, I have more than HOPE, I have a PROMISE from the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES to never LEAVE me nor FORSAKE me (Romans 8:31-39)!  

“HE DELIGHTED IN ME” and would NOT leave me in my sinful ways, but drew me close to HIM and will not let me go!!!
