Key Scripture: “
Delight yourselves also in the
Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalms 37:4
Power Point:
39
years, 2 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 3 hours, and 42 minutes ago, I asked Jesus to
come into my life. 39 years, 2
months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 3 hours and 43 minutes ago, everything changed for the
better. I like to say “to know Him is to love Him.” And I find
every hour of every day that I get to know Him, my delight in Him increases.
What a stunning revelation
that is. How stunning to know that God is totally, completely, willingly,
joyously, generously, good and kind all the time. How AWESOME to discover that there is Some One who is
perfectly loving, perfectly powerful, and perfectly open to inviting me into
that Secret place every day, every hour, every moment.
The word “delight” means to be highly
pleased, to take great pleasure in, to have a high degree of pleasure or
enjoyment in something. My family, my friends, and my poodles give me great delight. I am
HIGHLY pleased to be with them or just to think about them. I enjoy them and I
like to be with them, but the highlight of every one of my days is the time I
spend in those first few hours with my Father. In fact, sometimes I will wake up in the very wee hours and
think “Oh great! I only have two more hours until I can get up and be with
You.” And sometimes I just can’t wait to be with Him, so I get up right
then! His kindness delights me.
His goodness brings me such joy.
As His words unfold in my heart, they bring heavenly light over my
thoughts and my plans. He really is delightful.
Have you ever
considered that He is delighted to be with you and to give you the desires of
your heart? Smith Wigglesworth once said, “God
is even more eager to answer than you are to ask!” I love that thought. Sometimes we think
that God needs us to measure up to a certain level. Beloved, you are the one
holding that measuring stick!
God
sees you as clearly and completely as He sees His Son Jesus. And He is simply delighted with you.
The more I know about
God’s character, the more amazed I am that anyone could be so measureless in
His love for us.. I find myself growing more secure in that loving relationship
every day. It brings me great joy. And delight.
I hope you will find that
security as well. I pray that you will know that:
He
delights in giving you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4
The
saints on the earth are His delight.
(Psalms 16:3)
The
Lord knows His children and they are His delight. (Proverbs 11:20)
He's delighted WITH you, He's delight to HELP you and He's delighted to KNOW you.
Power Thought:
He's delighted WITH you, He's delight to HELP you and He's delighted to KNOW you.
Power Thought:
You are My beloved child, in whom I am well pleased.
