God’s Pleasure in Prospering Us

 “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭35:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is one of David’s psalms where he tells God to destroy his enemies and false witnesses against him.  Yet at the end he asks God to let all his true friends shout for joy, all those who know and love what David does for God. Let them all say that the Lord is great, and He delights in the prosperity of His servant.  This encourages us to pray to our Father straight from our heart, hiding nothing from Him.  Jesus made the way for us to have a bold and personal relationship with our Father in heaven and tell it straight from the heart, our emotions and feelings because God knows it anyway!  Yet at the end David extolled God Who took delight in prospering His servant.  It gives pleasure to our Father to prosper us who believe that we have experienced the extravagant grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although He was infinitely rich, He impoverished Himself for our sake, so that by His poverty, we become rich beyond measure.  Thank You Father for taking pleasure in our prosperity!
