For most of my life the exercises that I have enjoyed focused on my legs. Though I was never a world-class athelete I was always confident in the ability of my legs to walk, run, or bike for many hours at a time. But this psalmist reminds us that God does not take pleasure in the strength of our legs. Its not important to God that in my youth I could squat over 200 pounds. His concern has always been focused on my reverence and faith toward him. I can say that when I was confident in the power of my legs I was a cripple in regard to my faith. Now adays I know that my faith is much more mature then it was 30 years ago, and I am less focused on what my legs can accomplish. I am still thankful for the lessons God taught me using my legs, but I now know that he is more important than anything that I can accomplish on my own.
It took me about 3 minutes to read this psalm.
