MY DELIGHT

We all have desires in our heart. Some of us are still waiting on those desires to be fulfilled. When the season of waiting becomes long, it’s easy to lose hope. But how do we strengthen ourselves and delight in Him in this season of waiting? Delighting is an action of taking great pleasure in Him, to please Him or to be His pleasure. Here is something that encouraged me while studying on this verse.

Look up these scriptures below and begin to familiarize yourself with them. Highlight them, write them in your journal, pray them, but mostly get them in your heart! And He will give you the desires of your heart!

WAYS TO DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Doing His will
I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart. Psalm 40:8

Meditating on scriptures
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. Psalm 1:1-2

Being honest  
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight. Proverbs 12:22

Obedience
So Samuel said: Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22

Prayer
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. Proverbs 15:8

Loving His Word
I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. Your testimonies also are my delight And my counselors. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, Which I love. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; For Your law is my delight. Psalm 119:16, 24, 35, 47, 77

Most of all, we delight in Him because we love Him. And through the process of delighting ourselves in the Lord, we see that He delights in us!

Here is a song that blessed my heart. It's called "None but Jesus" by Hillsong:

All my delight is in you Lord

All of my hope

All of my strength

All my delight is in you Lord

Forevermore
