The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight. Proverbs 15:8
My words…
Praise
I imagine there are many things in which You delight. New life bursts into the world every second. One person selflessly serves another. Orphans are adopted. Addicts find the road to recovery. A tormented soul is transformed by Your forgiveness and love. My prayers aren’t anywhere near this delightful, but apparently, my haphazard, stifled, wandering prayers delight You. What does that say about You? You aren’t very picky when it comes to prayers. You can’t wait to hear from me. You are genuinely interested in what happens to me, even on the boring days. You do not rank prayers according to their eloquence. You do not line them up and listen to them one at a time, according to the faith of the one praying. You do not give some more prominence than others; the prayer of a child is as delightful to You as the prayer of a king.
Who is the upright? Anyone lifting their spirit to you in prayer. You must be bombarded. How delightful for You!
