God is righteous, period.

He can do no wrong.

He even hates the worship of the wicked! Because their “hearts” are far from Him. (Their “sacrifices” make God sick!)

Need Scripture?

“The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD.”

But … “The prayer of the upright is his delight.”

I’ve just shared with you Proverbs 15:8, King James Version, a classic example of Biblical parallelism.

This morning I want to emphasize the second half of that great verse … about God “delighting” in the prayers of His people.

The word used is “ratzson,” literally meaning “favour” 15 times in our Bible! Then “acceptable” 8 more times, no small blessing! And “pleasure” 5 times as well!

The “upright” man or woman is the saved person, justified in God’s Eyes through the Blood of Jesus.

Did you ever think about praying, not only for your sake, but for God’s Delight as well?

Ponder that little Truth today, please.

In the Song of Solomon (2:14) the Bridegroom says to the Bride (typical of Jesus saying to His Church) … “Sweet is thy voice.”

Yes, Jesus loves it when we pray!

What a thought, straight from the Word of God!
