Delightful!

Psalm 37:4 (New International Version)

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

**************************************************

I have heard so many people quote this verse, and I myself have read it several times. What a wonderful promise that is: "...he will give you the desires of your heart."

But it seems to me that we've all only been seeing THAT part of this scripture. Being human - and thus being selfish - I think the first part is glossed over with some kind of mysterious invisible ink.

Delight yourself in the LORD...what does that mean? The dictionary definition of delight is as follows:

to give great pleasure, satisfaction, or enjoyment to; please highly.
to have great pleasure; take pleasure

Do you take great pleasure in spending time with the Lord each day? Do you feel satisfied and highly pleased by your relationship with God? Is it your great pleasure to think upon Him in all things that you say and do? Is God DELIGHTFUL to you?
