Delight Yourself In the Lord:

(Psalm 37:4–5) — “Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”

Listen — The psalmist says, “Delight thyself also in the Lord.” That means make God your joy, your satisfaction, your heart’s desire! Don’t chase after fleeting pleasures, temporary things, or worldly success. True fulfillment comes when your heart finds its delight in God’s presence, His Word, and His will. When you take pleasure in Him, your spirit begins to sing and He begins to shape your desires! 

This promise is not that God will grant every whim of your heart. No! It’s that He will transform your desires to match His perfect will. When you delight in the Lord, your heart starts to desire what He desires. Your dreams are refined, your longings are purified, and God positions you to receive what is truly best, in His perfect timing. Saints, alignment with God is better than instant gratification!

(Verse 5) continues: “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him.” ...This is total surrender! Every plan, every step, every decision — hand it over to God. Don’t cling to your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5–6) reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” ...When you commit your way, God steps in, takes control, and makes sure His plan unfolds perfectly.

When you delight in Him and commit your path to Him, you are placing your life in hands that never fail. His faithfulness guarantees the fulfillment of His promises. He sees the end from the beginning, and every move He makes on your behalf is perfect, timely, and for your good. Peace replaces worry, hope replaces fear, and joy becomes your strength!

Listen — your peace, your fulfillment, your victory is found not in striving, but in delight, trust, and surrender. Delight in Him, commit your way, trust His timing, and watch as God brings His perfect will to pass in your life. Glory to God! Are you delighting yourself in the Lord?
