Live For God's Fame, Because He is Good

God spoke through the psalmist to say in Psalm 147:10-11 "He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man. The Lord favors those who fear Him, those who wait for His loving kindness."

That tells me that we can try as hard as we can in our own power to earn God's favor and we might never be able to enter into it, because we are just spinning our wheels running around in a frenzy not acknowledging who God really is.

The only way to life in is Jesus Christ. No one else can make sense out of life and no one else is good enough to follow. God is so good, He provides for our every need (not all our wants, our needs) and He shows Himself faithful to all of His promises.

He has promised that the one who comes to Hm in faith He will never cast away. He will keep you forever in His care. God, being rich in mercy, when we were dead in sin, sent Jesus to pay the penalty our sins deserved All who believe go free because Jesus was judged in our place.

So do whatever you do for God's glory, honor and fame. He is worthy of it. The Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. That is found in Psalm 145:17.
