Psalms 147:10-11 NLT He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.

The reason God takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might is because it pushes Him out of the picture. God wants our total dependence on Him.

Unless God directs us, He doesn’t want us working 3 or 4 jobs, He wants us to depend on Him for provision. Unless God directs us, He doesn’t want us taking a crazy amount of medication, vitamins, and visiting the doctor multiple times a year. He wants our dependence on Him for good health. He didn’t even want our efforts in keeping the Law in order to be righteous. He wants our righteousness to be based on our belief and dependence on what Jesus accomplished on our behalf.

Whether we’re building a business, desiring protection, or raising children, when we start with God, continue with Him, and end with Him, then God is pleased with our actions.
