God's Delight
By David Wilkerson0NUM 14:8PSA 18:17PRO 11:20PRO 15:8David Wilkerson emphasizes that God not only loves His people but also delights in each one of us, taking great pleasure in our lives and well-being. He compares this divine delight to the joy a parent feels when hearing from their children, illustrating that if imperfect human love can be so strong, God's love must be even greater. Wilkerson encourages believers to focus on God's love and delight, as exemplified by Joshua and Caleb's faith in God's promises despite obstacles. He cites various scriptures that affirm God's delight in the upright and the prayers of His people, urging us to trust that every circumstance is part of God's loving will. Ultimately, he reassures that through faith, we will find joy and deliverance in our lives.

Gill illustrates that God's joy is not only a reflection of His perfection but also a source of strength and security for believers, culminating in the ultimate joy of salvation and eternal communion with Him.
