4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
What does this mean? Is the Bible telling us that if you delight in God then he will give you whatever you want? Hardly.
The truth is that all of us become like what we worship, for good or for bad. Delighting in God is another way of saying worship. As we delight in God we are conformed to become more like him (Rom. 8). As we become more like Jesus, the desires of our hearts change also.
Our appetites and desires change to want God more than anything else. This is the Christian life is one of delighting in God. It is not a boring, unfulfilled, no fun life, but rather one of the deepest joy imaginable.
Your duty today, and everyday is to absolutely delight in the Lord.
