Psalm
40:8
I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy
law is within my heart.
How can believers delight themselves in the
Lord? This is achieved by first acknowledging who God is and His sovereign
powers. Also, believers find delight in God by obeying and trusting Him totally
as this becomes a faith issue. Believers delight themselves in the Lord by
hiding His words in their heart (Psalm 119:11) this is so that God's Word
becomes a lamp unto thy feet and a light unto thy path (Psalm 119:105). Delighting one self in God's Word is the
spiritual food required for spiritual growth that leads to Christian maturity
while developing an intimate relationship with God. Believers delight
themselves in God by communing with Him daily through prayer, Bible reading and
meditating on His word, and then humbly submitting to the leading of the Holy
Spirit.
It
is noteworthy to say, that abiding in God's Word and God's Word abiding in each
believer (John 15:7) a one-to-one relationship exists. God desires an intimate
relationship with His people.
Let's
close by saying there is no better delight than in God our creator, sustainer
and provider. There is great joy in a close relationship with God as He is an
ever present help in the time of need and is our daily guide on our journey.
Lord,
I find joy in thy presence. Never hide thy face from me. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
