Delight

 

     This weekend, we took great delight in the spectacular colors of fall in Minnesota. The vibrant oranges along the Mississippi River Road were heavenly against the deep clear, blue sky.

     These words came to mind this morning out of nowhere. You will make my dreams come true, when all I seek is to glorify You.  When God becomes our first love and our greatest desire is to follow and please Him, he blesses us with supernatural power and the desires of our hearts become His.

Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

     Take time to delight yourself in the Lord today. Thank Him for His Son, Jesus who saved us, for His Spirit that guides us, for His word that teaches us, for His creation that inspires us, for friends and family to bless us, for food and shelter that sustain us. Take delight in His presence, in His power, in His protection, in His providence. He will give you the desires of your heart. And, don’t forget, as we take delight in Him, He takes great delight in you and in me.

The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you. In His love, He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

Lord,

We take delight in You today for all of Your good gifts from above. We, as children of the light, are already seated in heaven with You. How miraculous! How amazing! How delightful are You!

Amen
