What do you Delight in?
I delight in the sound of childrens laughter
I delight in going down hill fast on a bicycle
I delight in the smile of a friend
I delight in seeing a blackfaced fox squirrel on a cold December morning
I delight in deep blue skies with cotton ball clouds
I delight in seeing my students finally "get it"
I delight in reunions with friends I have not seen in a long while
I delight in the first drop on a mega roller coaster
I delight in seeing a great team at it's best
I delight in seeing great acts of courage
I delight in the love of my wife
I delight in seeing my children happy
I delight in music of all kinds
I delight in a good cup of coffee
"Delight yourself in the Lord"
I have been wondering what that means- what it looks like- How to do it.
I am not quite sure if the verse is a command- something I am to intentionally do- Today I will set out to delight in the Lord
or
Is it more that today I will acknowlege God- Abide in Christ-in every thing I think, say, or do and out of that will flow those feelings of delight like the ones I listed above.
There is a bit of a mystery to it all for me- but that's okay- maybe even good. I'm sure if I could come up with a formula for how to delight in the Lord I would probably lose some of the wonder of it all. I think I need to be happy with simply trying to love God and Love people moment by moment and see where that takes me.
Psalm 100: Shout for Joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship Him with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God- it is He who made us and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. The Lord is good and His Love endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations.
Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, move in me today to trust You, to abide in You- to remember Your great Love for me- to remember Your goodness. Move in Me Lord Jesus to delight in You- to find my joy in You. Holy Spirit, be so powerful in me that the Love of Jesus is always what guides my thoughts, words and deeds. Amen
