Delight Yourself In…

Today's THrough the Bible Reading: Psalms 9–12, 27, 36, 37

Abbreviated Reading: Psalm 37

“DELIGHT yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4

The joy of growing closer and closer to our Savior is the greatest happiness this world has to offer. As God becomes our daily delight, we find our life a satisfying one and our heart's desires fulfilled.

Knowing that we are justified (just-if-I'd never sinned) brings peace; but happiness (our desires accomplished) comes by way of sanctification - being set a part, becoming more like Jesus Christ and less like _____ (me).

God's way is pure, peaceable, and full of LIFE. God promises that if we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we WILL be filled (Matt 5:6). If our DELIGHT is in the LORD we WILL be filled. So today, delight yourself in the Lord; tell Jesus you love Him; let Him reign supreme in your heart and He will grant that desire and take His place as lover of your soul.

All that David spoke of regarding the source of delight, Jesus demonstrated. The Scriptures tell us that Jesus loved righteousness and hated wickedness. As a result, He was anointed with gladness (Heb. 1:9). Following His ways will produce joy and all manner of goodness. If our delight is in the things of the Lord, we will find ourselves a very happy people—guaranteed.

“Happy are the people…whose God is the Lord.” Psalm 144:15 nkjv

Start today by digging into His Word and being transformed by the renewing of your mind.
