\u201cHe taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.\u201d (Psalm 147:10<\/a>)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n What an interesting insight! The great, transcendent God doesn\u2019t take pleasure in the legs of a man!<\/p>\n We can think of this in connection with the world of athletics. The track star, lithe and swift, crossing the finish line with hands flung high in victory. The basketball player, streaking down the court to sink the winning basket. The football hero, muscular and strong, irresistibly plunging through the line.<\/p>\n The crowd goes wild. They are jumping, shouting, cheering (or alternately booing and catcalling). They are fanatics, emotionally involved in every play. You might say that they take pleasure in the legs of a man\u2014that is, in his ability to play the game.<\/p>\n Our verse is not intended to prohibit an interest in athletics. The Bible elsewhere speaks well of the value of bodily exercise. But God\u2019s disinterest in the legs of a man should remind us to keep our priorities in balance.<\/p>\n It is easy for a young believer to become so engrossed in some sport that it becomes the passion of his life. All his best efforts are aimed toward achieving excellence. He disciplines his time, his food intake, his sleep. He practices endlessly, perfecting skill in every conceivable play. He maintains an exercise regimen, designed to keep him in top physical condition. He thinks and talks about this sport as if it were his life. Perhaps it actually is.<\/p>\n Sometimes a young Christian like this is brought up short when he realizes that God doesn\u2019t take pleasure in the legs of a man. If he wants to walk in fellowship with God, he must adopt God\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n What, then, does God take pleasure in? The eleventh verse of Psalm 147<\/a> tells us: \u201cThe Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.\u201d In other words, God is more interested in the spiritual than in the physical. The Apostle Paul mirrors this same value system when he says that \u201cbodily exercise profiteth (a) little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.\u201d (1 Tim. 4:8<\/a>).<\/p>\n One hundred years from today, when the cheers have died away, when the stadium is empty, and the score is forgotten, the thing that will really count is a life that first sought the kingdom of God and His righteousness.<\/p>\n \u0b92\u0b95\u0bb8\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bcd 3<\/p>\n \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf

August<\/p>\n \u00bbEr hat nicht \u2026 Gefallen an den Beinen des Mannes.\u00ab\u00a0Psalm 147,10<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Was f\u00fcr eine interessante Erkenntnis! Der gro\u00dfe, transzendente Gott hat kein\u00a0Wohlgefallen an den Beinen des Mannes!<\/p>\n Wir k\u00f6nnen dabei an die Welt des Sports denken. Der L\u00e4ufer, schlank und schnell,\u00a0der das Zielband zerrei\u00dft, die Arme im Siegestaumel emporgerissen. Der Basketballspieler,\u00a0der sich geschickt in den gegnerischen Strafraum\u00a0spielt, um den entscheidenden\u00a0Korb zu werfen. Der Fu\u00dfballheld, der am Verteidiger vorbeidribbelt und kraftvoll\u00a0zum Siegestor einschie\u00dft.<\/p>\n Die Zuschauer rasen. Sie springen auf und schreien, jubeln, pfeifen. Sie sind Fanatiker,\u00a0die bei jedem Spiel mit tiefster Seele dabei sind. Wir k\u00f6nnten sagen, dass\u00a0sie Wohlgefallen haben an den Beinen des Mannes \u2013 d.h. an seinen spielerischen\u00a0F\u00e4higkeiten.<\/p>\n Unser Vers hat nicht die Absicht, ein gesundes Interesse am Sport zu verurteilen.\u00a0Die Bibel spricht an anderer Stelle \u00fcber den Wert leiblicher \u00dcbung. Aber Gottes\u00a0mangelndes Interesse an den Beinen des Mannes sollte uns daran erinnern, unsere\u00a0Priorit\u00e4ten ausgewogen zu halten.<\/p>\n Es ist leicht f\u00fcr einen jungen Gl\u00e4ubigen, so in einer Sportart aufzugehen,\u00a0dass es\u00a0die Leidenschaft seines Lebens wird. Alle seine Anstrengungen\u00a0sind darauf ausgerichtet,\u00a0in seiner Disziplin Spitzenleistungen zu erzielen. Er teilt genau seine Zeit\u00a0ein, seine Nahrungsaufnahme, seinen Schlaf. Er praktiziert ohne Unterlass, um sein\u00a0K\u00f6nnen in m\u00f6glichst vielen Spielen zu perfektionieren. Er h\u00e4lt sich streng an ein\u00a0Trainingsprogramm, das ihn physisch in Topform halten soll. Er denkt und redet\u00a0\u00fcber seinen Sport, als w\u00e4re er sein Leben. Vielleicht ist es tats\u00e4chlich so.<\/p>\n Manchmal ist ein solcher junger Christ best\u00fcrzt, wenn ihm pl\u00f6tzlich klar wird, dass\u00a0Gott kein Gefallen hat an den Beinen des Mannes. Wenn er in Gemeinschaft mit\u00a0Gott leben m\u00f6chte, muss er sich Gottes Perspektive aneignen.<\/p>\n Woran hat Gott nun Gefallen? Der elfte Vers von Psalm 147 sagt es uns: \u00bbDer\u00a0Herr hat Gefallen an denen, die ihn f\u00fcrchten, an denen, die auf seine Gnade harren.\u00ab\u00a0Mit anderen Worten: Gott ist am Geistlichen mehr interessiert als am Leiblichen.\u00a0Der Apostel Paulus spiegelt dieses Wertsystem\u00a0wider, wenn er sagt, dass \u00bbdie leibliche\u00a0\u00dcbung zu wenigem n\u00fctze\u00ab ist (1. Timotheus 4,8).<\/p>\n Hundert Jahre sp\u00e4ter, wenn der Beifall erstorben, das Stadion leer und das Spielergebnis\u00a0vergessen ist, z\u00e4hlt allein ein Leben, das zuerst nach dem Reich Gottes und\u00a0Seiner Gerechtigkeit getrachtet hat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 3 \u201cHe taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.\u201d (Psalm 147:10) What an interesting insight!
