How Is Your Delight Meter?

 

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. Psalm 1:1-3 NIV Bible Gateway

Do you feel delighted right now? Delight means great pleasure, happiness, to please.

In the Chronicles of Narnia the White Witch used Turkish delight candy to entice the children and trick them. I had Turkish delight once at a vendor at Pike Place Market in Seattle. It is good but could it be used for real to entice people to fall from God? Yes it is only a movie but makes you think.

Is there something or someone you take delight in more than you delight in God? Do you have the joy of the Lord in your heart? Not joy for a church building, a denomination, a preacher or priest, a format of worship but do you find joy in the Almighty God? Have you spent time with Him today or do you just wait til Sunday? If you don’t have delight in God ask Him to remove anything that is taking priority over Him and to create in you a desire and delight in Him.

PRAYER: Lord many times I have let other things get in the way of spending time with you. It is way more than just one hour on Sunday. Create in me a desire to seek you more than I do now. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
