Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 NIV
This Psalm is one of my favorites. To delight is a very energizing thought and emotion. It means to take great pleasure or joy in. It does not say - exhaust yourself, strain yourself, worry yourself, or condemn yourself; it says delight yourself in the LORD. What is so refreshing about God’s grace is that it creates a genuine delight for the Lord and that changes the intent of our desires. Today let His Grace penetrate your soul and you will find a great joy in delighting in the Lord. If you will allow this grace of delighting yourself in the LORD to be who you are each new day, things will happen in your journey that will be overwhelming with joy. Those around you will experience that life that is called eternal. Kindness and encouragement will be just who you are and each day will seem like you opened a new gift. Enjoy! |
