People seem to delight in many different things: sports, fishing, hunting, shopping, reading, etc.
You might put it this way. It is what happens when there is excitement inside, a tingle, a spark. When we are doing what we really love to do, or when we are with someone we really love.
Psalms 37:4 says, Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
What does it mean to "delight yourself in the Lord"? I means to take great pleasure in Him. Not in what He has done or in what He can do, but in Him alone. When was the last time you took great pleasure in simply having fellowship with God?
Some people read this verse and think, If I delight in God, He will give me what I want!
Well that is true in this sense, if we truly delight in the Lord, then the desire of our heart will be to know Him better so we can delight in Him even more, and the Lord will satisfy that desire! This is not a promise for people who want "things," but for those who want more of God in their lives.
So, in what or whom do you delight?
