How to Delight in the Lord

Daily Devotional: Friday, November 29, 2024
Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4 (NKJV)

The main reading for today encourages us to have a deep, joyful, and trustworthy connection with God. It is a transforming invitation to conform our hearts to the will of God, not just a guarantee that we shall get what we desire.

The Desires of Your Heart

Enjoying the Lord’s presence, personality, and deeds is what it means to pleasure in Him. It is a call to gratefully adore Him, to be in awe at His handiwork, and to fully believe in His word. Our desires start to mirror His heart when we make Him the object of our joy.

Our earthly cravings are frequently ephemeral and selfish. However, God transforms those desires as we rejoice in Him. What might have been an ambition for fame or fortune changes into a desire for His tranquility, His direction, and His role in our lives.

How to Delight in the Lord

Moreover, God gives us the desires of our hearts, which are in harmony with His will, but not necessarily everything we ask for. These could be a closer relationship with Him, the courage to help others, or the discernment to face life’s obstacles head-on.

What aspect of your connection to God makes you the happiest? Do you have any desires you must surrender to Him? How can you develop more joy in the Lord every day? Never forget to rejoice in the Lord, knowing that He will provide for all of your needs in His own time and in His own way.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to delight in You first so that my desires may be in accordance with Your will.
