Delight Yourself in The Lord

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Psalm 37:4-6

David calls us to take delight in the Lord and commit everything we have and do to Him. But how do we do this? To delight in someone means to experience great pleasure and joy in his or her presence. This happens only when we know that person well. Thus, to delight in the Lord, we must know Him better. Knowledge of God's great love for us will indeed give us delight. To commit ourselves to the Lord means entrusting everything - our lives, our families, our jobs, our possessions - to His control and guidance. To commit ourselves to the Lord means to trust in Him, believing that He can care for us better than we can for ourselves. We should be willing to wait patiently for Him to work out what is best for us.

God Bless you,
