Eli hasn't hit a golf ball down the center of a 500 yard, par 5 golf hole, but he sure knows how to pose after a great shot (he learned that from his father and mother); hands on hip, club behind the back and smiling wide.
What brings a smile to your face? The birth of a baby? A juicy steak? A three hundred yard drive?
God's salvation brought a smile to the psalmist's face.
"But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, 'The LORD is great!'" Psalm 40:16 New Living Translation
King David calls us to find joy and gladness in God. We might not be able drive a golf ball three hundred yards, afford a juicy steak, or rejoice at the birth of child, but we can find joy in what God has done for us...and what he continues to do for us, all by his grace.
After Eli posed for this shot his golf game didn't go so well. I've had many golf games where, after a great drive, I hit a worm killer or miss the ball completely. Joy that is based on what we bring to the table lasts about as long as flash paper.
The joy that comes from God's mercy for us in Christ lasts for an eternity.
