Find Your Delight in the Lord!

"Delight yourself in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart."

(Psalm 37: 4, NASB)



The subject of delight is is a precious topic indeed, when its focus is on the Lord. According to today`s above text we are instructed by the psalmist to "Delight yourself in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37: 4). In other words, when we "delight" ourselves in the Lord, He will take great delight in us. Merriam-Webster's online dictionary defines the word: "A high degree of gratification: joy; extreme satisfaction; something that gives great pleasure." In a sense, when our delight is specifically focused on the Lord, it is a form of worship. For if we find no delight in the Lord, it is impossible to worship Him. For he who delights in the Lord worships the Lord.

Below is a simple online of a few verses that came to me awhile ago from the Psalms on the subject of "delighting" ourselves in the Lord.

1. Taking Delight in the "Water of Life" (see Psalm 36: 8; Rev. 22: 1).

2. Choosing to "Delight yourself in the Lord" (see Psalm 37: 4).

3. The Humble will Delight in the Inheritance of "abundant prosperity" (see Psalm 37: 11; 72: 7).

4. The Lord Delights in "the steps" of a man's way (see Psalm 37: 23; 147: 11).
