DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD
“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4 (KJV)
The God that we serve does not jump ship. He knows how to stick with His people. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. That was what David had going on for him. David who was forgotten at the backside of the desert, was rejected, abandoned. But that was what he had going for him because when you look at 1 Samuel 18:12, “…Saul was afraid of David because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul.” That was why it was David who was able to overcome Goliath.
1 Samuel 18:14 says that David behaved himself wisely in all his ways, and the LORD was with him. It’s very important when God is with you. When your relationship is intact with God, there is no way you can lose. It does not matter what comes against you. The bible says thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand, there are pleasures forevermore (Psalms 16:11). He will show you the path of life, where to invest, how to survive the challenges of life, and how to navigate yourself through the banana peels of life.
So what do I do? Our text scripture says delight thyself also in the LORD, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Just enjoy God, celebrate Him, call him His name, dance before His presence, shake before His presence, and get involved in what pleases Him. You are probably struggling because you are doing what you shouldn’t do. Your part is to delight in Him and He shall give you the desire of your heart. A turnaround is coming to your spiritual life! Good and better things are coming! I declare that no harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your dwelling. Your going out is blessed, and your coming in is blessed. All that pertains to you is declared blessed in Jesus’ Name.
