DELIGHT

In Psalm 37, David encourages the faithful to focus on God in spite of the wickedness in the world around them; God will punish the wicked and bless the righteous. The fourth verse of the psalm is the key to finding joy in a wicked, chaotic world.

"Delight yourself also in the Lord,

And He shall give you the desires of your heart."

The things of the world are limited.

If we look for happiness in the things of the world, we will never find it. We may find temporary happiness, but never true satisfaction. We will forever try to grasp satisfaction that is always just out of reach. The things of this world are limited. The fulfillment and satisfaction they provide are also limited. Once we reach the limit, that's it.

God has no limits.

When God is our source of joy, when we desire Him above all else, we will find true satisfaction. He has no limits. The joy He brings is inexhaustible.

To desire God is to draw from a well with endless supply.

Desire God. Find your joy in Him. Trust Him. Focus on Him. You will not be disappointed.

Are you delighting in God?
