His delight

~They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. Proverbs 11:20

They that have a forward heart are a people who lack complete modesty, have no regard for consequences and are lacking restraint and discernment. They tend to be of an arrogant nature. It is then no surprise that the Lord calls them an abomination. We certainly don’t want to be part of that group of people.

Our desire is to be a His delight. Hence, we want to be an upright man, or woman, that is to be honest, just and honorable, all of which are qualities which compose a strict regard for what is Godly. The Lord has delight in such a people, for He Himself is an holy God and His way is an upright way.

This should also be our joy and delight in that we serve such an upright Master!
