Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, Oh God, my God. – Psalm 43:4
Is God your delight? What does that look like to you?
Psalm 37:4 tells us to “Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.” How do you delight IN the Lord? I’m sure there are many ways to do it. Ask the Lord to show you. When I meditate on who He is and all the things He’s done, I find great joy and delight in Him.
Think about delight. What do you delight in? Or who do you delight in? Maybe your spouse, your significant other or your children? What does that look like? How does the other person know that you delight in him/her? I don’t think that delight is supposed to be serious business. Do you, like me, find that you are usually serious with the Lord?
Ask the Lord to show you how you can delight in Him more. Ask Him to show you what that might look like. Ask Him to show you how He is your delight.
Go ahead—have some fun. Laugh. Dance. Sing. Shout. Smile. How would the human(s) you delight in know that they are your delight if you are always serious with them? Do they like you to show it? I think God also wants us to show our delight in Him too. Ok, so… what are you waiting for? Let God be your delight.
