"Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of
your heart." - Psalm 37:4
For the past five years, I have selected a word to reflect on throughout each
year. For 2021, I have chosen “delight.” How do you delight yourself in the
Lord? Webster's Dictionary defines the word delight as “something that gives
great pleasure or joy.” What are pieces of evidence of a life that takes great
pleasure and joy in God?
According to Rhonda Stoppe from Bible Study Tools, “True delight in Him
causes us to take our sights off of what we want in order to long for
what He desires.” A secular approach to delight places the focus on “me,”
where a Christ-like approach places the focus on God.
