Delight In The LORD & Your Heart Will Overflow

Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

The special moments of “speaking” with You are always the best part of my day. No matter where I may be, or whom I may have been with, you are always the quintessential highlight of my day.

Enjoying my time with You, is my way of “staying positive” in a world of negativity, where the focus seems to be “casting dispersions” on those who have different ideologies other than what they might believe.

Enjoying my time with You, is my way of “staying focused” on what is real, and what is truly important in the overall scheme of things.

Enjoying my time with You, is my way of “staying steadfast” in promoting Your glory and Your love.

The incidentals in life are akin to the flow of a river. It keeps moving, sometimes smoothly, sometimes with a ripple effect, and at other times turbulence at best. But during these times and all the in-betweens- You, my LORD- are my “Lifeboat,” that keeps me afloat, irrespective of my circumstances. I wouldn’t trade the special, and delightful moments that I spend “with You,” for anything in this entire universe.

• For I need You to breath!
• I need You to think!
• I need You to love!
• I just NEED YOU!

Psalm 37:4 holds a profound promise: “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Let’s explore the beauty of this verse, drawing insights for our lives today exploring further into the understanding of how powerfully exhilarating and life affirming this verse is.

2. Aligned Desires:

• As we delight in the Lord, our desires begin to align with His will. Our hearts yearn for what He desires for us.
• It’s not a blank check for any selfish wish; rather, it’s about wanting what God wants for us.
• Reflective Question: How can we discern between our own desires and God’s desires for us?

3. Peace and Contentment:

• Delighting in the Lord brings peace. We realize that God is our anchor, our lifeboat, even amidst life’s turbulence.
• Our focus shifts from external circumstances to the internal joy found in God.

“Dear LORD -Thank You for another day, and another delightful day of loving You, may I be ever mindful in all I do, and may I always find time to sit alone and talk with You, trust in You, find joy in You, and serve You humbly every step of the way, today, tomorrow and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
