Delight In The Lord

Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalms 37:4 (KJV): Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

God is love, and it is important that as His child you relate with Him as LOVE.

Love is not an attribute of His; Love is His PERSON and very NATURE!

A man who has understood what it means to delight in the Lord is one who has understood how much God loves Him.

Delighting in the Lord is the joy of basking in the knowledge that He loves you.

This wisdom ought to define how you pray.

Some Christians go to God only to present problems or to beg.

They cry, “God this has happened…Why me? Why my family? What did I ever do to you God? God give me a new car…God I am tired of this job…God this…God that…”

But they never take time to simply delight in Him.

Regardless of your present circumstance, you must learn to delight in God.

Simply get into the presence of God to bask in the knowledge of the things He has done for you and how much He loves you.

“God I thank you for my wonderful life. I thank you that you chose me, called me, sanctified and separated me! I thank you because I did not seek you, by love you sought me! I thank you that nothing can separate me from your love, not life, not death, not things present not even things to come”

Delight in God.

“Oh, I am so blessed! I can count my blessings one by one and know that you have been faithful. I look at how much you have given me and dance with joy. I did not deserve it but you gave. You answered before I called. You provided before I prayed. What a faithful God! What a loving father!”

Delight in the Lord!

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:
Delighting in the Lord is the joy of basking in the knowledge that He loves you.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this day. What a wonderful privilege to be a child of God! I rest in the knowledge that I am loved. Your love has cast out all fear. It is the reason nothing shakes me. I cannot be afraid of tomorrow or what the future holds because your love has been to my future and cast out anything that could have given me cause to fear. Today, I dance under the showers of your love and delight in the endless blessings you have made my portion. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
