Delight!

Psalm 37: 4

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

 

I meet more and more people these days, and the one thing they long for the most, is happiness.

Happiness is so fleeting, isn’t it?

 

We do everything we can to get it, and then work feverishly to keep it.

The more I understand people as relates to happiness, it appears people are looking for happiness in all the wrong places.

 

Maybe if we actually put God first in our lives, then we’d get what we’d desire most.

Frankly though, we don’t always look to God to get happy.

 

If the average person works at their faith relationship with God, like they do going on a diet, it probably isn’t bringing much happiness.

Do you see your relationship with God, as something you want to do, or something you feel like you have to do?

 

Duty to God must never become an obligation.

When we start to justify being away from God, because we’re always busy, then there probably isn’t much happiness going on.

 

Maybe when God become secondary, to our entertainment schedule, maybe we’re actually delighting in ourselves.

There’s a good chance, that our desires, aren’t His desires.

 

When those things get flip flopped, and God becomes the one thing we delight in, maybe then we’ll find true happiness…
