Psalm 37:4<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDelight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week we started looking at Psalm 37 and considered the first of four steps to have victory in your life. Here are the four: Trust<\/strong>, Delight<\/strong>, Commit<\/strong> and REST<\/strong>. The first step, TRUST, teaches us to place our trust in the trustworthiness of the Lord. He is the One who is always worthy of our trust.<\/p>\n

I love the concept of delight. In this passage it means to find an exquisite enjoyment in the Lord. There are many worldly pleasures that fade quickly and leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled or satisfied.<\/p>\n

In working with people and their problems for many years, I have come to realize that the things of this world never satisfy. We may strive for something that seems to be the most precious thing to us only to find that we are left flat. I have mentioned before that I have counseled women who felt that their life would be perfect if they could only find a husband. The next session would be with a wife who felt that her life would be perfect if she did not have a husband. Go figure!<\/p>\n

The ultimate reality is that when we delight ourselves in the Lord, we cultivate a new love relationship that has eternal implications. The precious Savior, who loves us so much that He died for us, wants us to find delight in spending time with Him as we feast in His Word and in conversing with Him in prayer.\u00a0 Have you found that place of pure delight in your life? Try it. You will like it!<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
