DELIGHT THYSELF IN THE LORD

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires

of thine heart. (Psalms 37:4)

To delight means to take pleasure or have great joy in something or

someone. David by the Spirit of God admonished us to take great

pleasure in the Lord.


This has to be a present continuous exercise. Our delight in the Lord

should not be restricted to a particular season or phase of our lives

but rather a constant day to day and minute to minute act.

However, it’s saddening to know that many believers only delight

themselves in the Lord when things seem well in their sights. When

they are faced with challenges they tend to take no pleasure in the

Lord, or even take pleasure in other things. Delighting ourselves in

the Lord can be

explained in two ways with different scenarios.

The first one is to delight ourselves in the Lord when we are faced

with what appear to be insurmountable challenges. Distractions,

discouragement and weariness may show up while going through some of

these challenges.

Nevertheless, we shouldn’t be swayed away by any of these challenges,

instead we deliberately have our delight on the law of the Lord and in

this we meditate day and night (Psalms 1:2) This will keep us

delighted in the Lord in spite of those challenges, then the Lord will

bring to light our desires and we start living the life of the blessed

man Psalms 1:1-3 talks about.

The second scenario of delighting ourselves in the Lord is to delight

ourselves in the Lord more than in the blessings the Lord has given

us. Often times folks get overwhelmed by the blessings and put aside

the giver of the blessings. This simply means delight yourself in the

beautiful wife the Lord gave you but delight in the Lord more. Be

addicted to and in the Lord.

Delight in your beautiful house, good job, riches and prosperity,

family and in all the blessings the Lord has given you but delight

more in the Lord. This is the mystery of eternal living unveiled. Do

you remember what Jesus told Peter in John 21:15a? And that foolish

man who had no delight in the Lord? (Luke 12:19-20)

Please delight in the Lord more than in anyone or anything.

Delight in him always and he shall give you all the desires of your heart.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY :

Lord, I delight myself in you always, more than in anyone or anything.

I am not swayed away by anything but rather stay delighted in you

always.

PASTOR VICTORVALIANT’S DECLARATION TO YOU TODAY :

I declare that as you delight yourself in the Lord, all your heart

desires in line with God’s will come to fruition and as they come to

fruition you will still stay delighted in him always. Amen
