“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”  Psalm 37:4

To delight in you, Lord, in one sense is so easy, for in every aspect you are wonderful beyond conception.

You made all, you know all, you hold all together.

You know the make up of every atom, the information in every DNA molecule,

the workings of every cell in the brain, the condition of every artery, the reproduction of every cell—

nothing escapes your attention and knowledge.

You have control of all events, balancing perfectly the genuinely responsible choices of billions of people

with the specific plans you have for each individual, each moment, each generation, each epoch—

and at the right time you will bring about the end of history, of time and of evil.

You are perfect in your wisdom, perfect in your love, perfect in your justice, perfect in your mercy, perfect in your timing.

You are the God of

grace and justice,

righteousness and mercy,

truth and love,

Heaven and Hell,

light and mystery,

purity and punishment, f

orgiveness and vengeance—

each in its time and place.

And as we delight in you, our Great Loving God, you put YOUR desires in our hearts and then fulfill them.

The greatest of which is the desire to know you more!

As the author of Psalm 73 said, “Whom have I in heaven but you, and earth haas nothing I desire besides you.”
