“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). One of the ways we can delight ourselves in the Lord is by embracing His delight in us. To experience all the fullness of God is to know through personal experience His love that surpasses mere intellectual knowledge. This happens by the power of the Holy Spirit, not by human effort. As we meditate on His love for us as described in His word and praise Him for the same, we find Him to be utterly delightful.
The second part of the verse, the desires of our heart, are actually a bonus. After all, when we are truly delighting in the Lord and experiencing the fullness of His love, what earthly desire could be better?
Something to take just a moment to consider today.
