Delight in the Lord
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
How does one “DELIGHT IN THE LORD”?
There are several occurrences of the word for “delight”, and this short message is not covering all of them. It is an enjoyable read to just search for this word in a Bible tool. Psalm 1 talks about a person who delights in the Torah and how blessed he is.
Psalm 1: How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
There is a closer match to the “Delight in the Lord”:
Isaiah 58:13 “If because of the sabbath, you turn your foot
From doing your own pleasure on My holy day,
And call the sabbath a delight,
the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, desisting from your own ways,
From seeking your own pleasure
And speaking your own word,
14 Then you will take DELIGHT IN THE LORD,
And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;
And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
