The Legs of Men

I am looking forward to skiing next week in Colorado with my brothers and cousins. In an attempt to get a bit more in shape, I've been trying to work out some, or something like that.

2009: Curt & I

I have been running the stairs over at a local football stadium and doing some squat-age; hoping to get to the point where my thighs don't burn like they did last year.

But as I am running, this verse keeps coming to mind: God's delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love (Ps 147:10-11 ESV).

I guess I find that encouraging. I won't ever be Superman, although exercise is beneficial - especially since I sit for a living. But it does give me pause about what God really thinks is important. 

It's also nice to know that if I ever live in a culture where the men where skirts, I don't have to be worried about my bird legs! :)

Anyways, there is too much stuff in life to not be hungry for God's pleasure and His steadfast love.
