"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
To delight in someone is to find joy in their presence, to welcome their unique qualities and to express pleasure in their company. Women of Faith Study Bible-p.894.
The disciples whom Jesus pursued first responded resoundingly with delight. They followed, served, learned and taught as a result of spending time with Jesus and "delighting in Him". Their journey was earthly but our spiritual journey with Him can offer us this same delight.
We walk with Him and experience miracles. We pray with and to Him to receive peace and comfort. We watch Him has He performs wonderous works in the lives of others. We go to the mountain with Him and kneel together. We walk with Him on the water when the storms become too rough.
This approachable character of Christ is just as accessible for us when we delight in Him as He was for the disciples thousands of years ago.
Delight in the Lord and you will experience the desires of your heart as He placed them in you.
