Delighting in God

Psalm 37:4
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

If God becomes our all-consuming aspiration, He will satisfy our deepest longing. Instead of chasing after our desire, we must yearn after God. When God becomes our desire, He will grant us our deepest yearnings.

There is no self-made man in Christianity. Instead of asking God to lead us, we plan everything and then pray that God will bless our efforts. Instead of believing that God is in control, we would not allow ourselves to deviate from our agenda. We find it difficult to let go.

The first sign that we have taken delight in God is when we allow Him to direct our course. God becomes our goal – to please Him becomes our highest and only aim. When we do that, we find our own desires being met. If our desire is that of a career, He will direct and lead. If our desire is to be the best student that we can be, when we pursue Him wholeheartedly, it will be so.

God takes delight in us and when we take delight in Him too, there is a match of our hearts and things will just fall into place according to His timetable; in His time.
