DELIGHT IN THE LORD

I’ve decided that one thing I want to do this year, at all times, is to “delight myself in the Lord” sounds easy enough, right? If you’re anything at all like me, in the simple fact that you’ve grown up in the church or have been there for quite sometime, I’m sure this phrase has come up, you’ve had to of heard it … “delight yourself in the Lord” now once again, if you’re anything at all like me, you’ve probably never sat and thought about that and just kind of heard it, read it, figured you were already doing it and who knows maybe you are, but I know that I sure haven’t been… I’ve been walking through some uncertainties in my life ( im not saying im having this horrible time where the storms are raging and I don’t feel God or know when/how He’s going to provide, my God always is there and always provides in His timing. I guess you could say that I’m curious about all these things that God has placed inside of me and want to know when they’re going to start or happen or anything at all, I guess you could say that I’ve been feeling a little bit of that “hope deffered”) and the words of encouragement that I get from people seem to always end with delight yourself in the Lord. Coincidence? I think not because I’ve started to study this phrase, it all makes sense so that’s what im doing right now … chewing on all im reading in His word …

Psalm 37:4- Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

• Matthew 6:33 – But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.




Psalm 37:23&24- The steps of a man are established by the LORD,when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,
for the LORD upholds his hand.







Delight simply means to take joy and pleasure. I want to take complete joy and pleasure in my God. Not the things of God and all the blessings he gives, but simply in Him. In every aspect of my life I want what he wants, and I can honestly say that. I want his heart to be so engrained in mine that his desires are mine, I want to stay focused and seek Him first. His will, His plan, His heart. I don’t want to simply trust in God anymore but to delight fully in Him. I want to step past only needing Him and I want Him to be my total source of joy. I think as humans we tend to look at God like He’s only our life insurance policy, like He’s only there to take care of serious business, we look at Him like work. We forget that God is more than that, I say He’s vacation too! And not just by the pool in cancun relaxing vacation (we all know that’s amazing and well needed) but He’s also Disneyland, Six Flaggs, Knottsberry Farm, exciting and FUN vacation! He wants to simply do life with us! This year I’m delighting in the Lord truly stepping past the whole religion thing and fully into a relationship where its not super spirtual, ok don’t get me going, that’s for an upcoming blog, I’ve been reading some super good stuff on law verses the new covenant and OHMYGEEZ can I just say wow?! I’m being blown away .. but that’s for another time, I’m still searching that one out.. as for now you just get my simple little DELIGHT IN THE LORD, make him your reason and source for joy this year!
