![]() Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalm 37:4) What better time to cling to this Word than when our heart is heavy or when we are in despair, “Delight thyself in the Lord!” Delight is defined as a high degree of gratification, pleasure, joy, or extreme satisfaction. “Delight and true faith are as interwoven as root and flower, as indivisible as truth and certainty; they are, in fact, two precious stones glittering side by side in a setting of gold.” Alistair Begg Yes, there are days when it is a struggle to delight but it is good to have a plan. It is good to have people in our life that can pray for us and help us get there. It is good to be connected to a community that reminds us of Who we serve and Why. It is good to have a system in place where we can tap into our praise and worship. “It is good for our God; it gives him honour among the sons of men when we are glad. It is good for us; it makes us strong. ‘The joy of the Lord is your strength.’ It is good for the ungodly; for when they see Christians glad, they long to be believers themselves. It is good for our fellow Christians; it comforts them and tends to cheer them. Whereas, if we look gloomy we shall spread the disease, and others will be wretched end gloomy too. For all these reasons, and for many more that can be given, it is a good and pleasant, thing that a believer should delight himself in God.” Charles Spurgeon On some days we might have to drag and limp to get there but we are determined to delight in our God. Truly, this is where we receive the desire of our hearts, peace. GiGi❤️
