Day 3-Decorated with Salvation

The word for delight used here is the Hebrew word rō·w·ṣeh which means to be pleased with; specifically, to satisfy a debt -- (be) accept(-able), accomplish, set affection, approve, consent with, delight (self), enjoy, (be, have a) favor(-able), like, observe, pardon, (be, have, take) please(-ure), reconcile self

When you accepted Jesus, you went from just being plain folk to one who delighted God so much that he decorates you with salvation garland!  When I picture that in my mind, I see the garland like the leis they put around your neck in Hawaii. That garland is made from flowers, but your salvation garland is made from everything Jesus made available for you at the cross.  Its flowers are righteousness, wisdom, love, joy, peace, healing, prosperity, and every favor and earthly blessing.

 I see God laughing as He puts one lei garland around your neck after another until you are covered in His delight.  All I can see is blessing after blessing that has been placed on you, so many that I barely see your face!  You are completely covered in His garlands of salvation and He is laughing as He puts another lei of blessing around your neck.
