Psalm 37

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

These are some of the greatest verses in the whole bible, they have words such as commit and trust, but right in the middle is this verse, which has the word delight.

We should commit everything to God, we should trust fully in him, but do we truly delight in him.

Do we delight in his beauty?

Do we delight in his love?

Do we delight in his awesomeness?

To do this means to take pleasure in, we look at the following verses: 

Psalm 43

4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Psalm 90

17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Psalm 29

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

God and him alone, should be our hearts delight, the true heart, will want nothing but God, everything else is a bonus.

If we truly delight in God, we will have our true hears desire, which is HIM.

What does your heart truly delight in? If it is God alone, then we will have our hearts desire.

Jesus says as much in Matthew 6

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Seek God, delight in him, make him your first priority and everything will follow.

We serve and do things for God, but do we ever take time to delight in him, to dwell in his majesty, to be quiet before him.

Take time to just be completely silent, before God, that would mean turning off all electronic devices and social media.. oh no, say some people.

God wants us to delight in Him, because in doing that our deepest desires of our hearts can be satisfied and the one who can satisfy is God himself.

God bless you
