Psalm 37:4
“Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.”
What does it mean to take delight in some thing or someone? It means to immerse yourself in the joy of knowing that you are the Lord’s and that He loves you now and for all of eternity IF you have received Him as your personal Savior.
I have said it over and over across the years that many believers look like they have been baptized in vinegar. That sour demeanor is offensive to God and a terrible testimony to unsaved souls around them.
When we make the Lord our happiness we are set free to allow His love and grace to shine through us and out to a dark and lost world. We are to be the light that shines bright no matter how dark the sin of the world may be.
Sometimes Christians seek after the desires of their heart rather than making their aim to delight in the Lord. It is only as we find our pure joy in being in communion with the Lord that we discover that the desires of our heart make a complete reversal and we now want the things that will last for eternity. Have you discovered that 180 degree turn in your life? DELIGHT IN THE LORD!
Draw near to God today, delight yourself in Him completely and be a blessing!
