My Delight – My GOD.


Every, now and then, we come across books that make a lot of promises. But very few meet the expectations.  Most start with telling you of how you can be successful in life or have everything that you ever wanted. And ofcourse, it comes with a price tag. But in reality there is no magic portion.
The word of God is for everyone, who wants to hear, or read. God’s promises are for everyone. If you believe, and walk with God, then God will do the impossible for you. God does not make promises, that He does not intend to keep. The Bible, is God’s word come true. So, if you are thinking, then that’s a good thing.  But let your thoughts proceed. I encourage you to stick by God, because when you do, He will guide you and watch over you. He is a protective, God. He will make all your dreams come true. And it will be more than you ever expected. The very moment I saw the caption at St. Peter’s Church,
Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
I Knew I had to write on this article. Dont keep God waiting on you. Take the step and He will take ten for you. You are His world, and so I write...

To have true delight in God implies that we have no will of our own-only that the will of God should be done. It implies that the soul has come practically to regard God as infinitely wise and good and to feel the fullest satisfaction.

It is one thing to obey, and another thing to have delight in obedience. Where the true spirit of obedience exists, we shall find our delight and happiness of course in the service of God. Delight in God implies that we supremely seek and desire eternal union with Him, this is all we ask, and we could lack nothing essential to our happiness.
The promise implies that we shall have those things that our hearts desire. If we delight ourselves in the Lord we shall have all things on which we set our hearts.

When our supreme desire is on God, it is then both consistent with the will of God, and with the highest good of being to grant our desires.
Whosoever delights himself in the Lord can never desire anything inconsistent with the will of God. And while he delights himself in God, he is sure not to set his heart on any thing unless he is drawn to it by the Spirit of God.
God loves to communicate of His own fullness to those who set their hearts on him. He loves those that love Him. But He greatly enjoys the communication of Himself to those who delight themselves in Him.

The soul that delights itself in God, has no way or will of its own, and therefore cannot be disappointed. While it delights itself in God it is of course cheerful and and can rejoice evermore, and pray without ceasing, and in every thing give thanks. When the mind has God, it has enough.

If we are drawn to God, He will be drawn to us. It is impossible that He should not delight in the soul that delights in Him; impossible that He should not seek after the soul that seeks after Him. It would be the same thing as denying Himself, not to delight in those that delight in Him. Whenever a mind seeks union with God, God sets his heart on that soul.
Whenever we find ourselves strongly drawn to God, God is infinitely drawn towards us.
When, for any reason God withholds the light of His countenance, it is impossible for any soul, then, to be happy. David tried to cheer up his soul, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him." Where an individual has come to delight himself in God, and falls into this state of mind in which he mourns, his mourning will be very submissive and very peculiar. It is not rebellious, and yet it is not joyful.
The happiness which the soul, that delights itself in God, finds in Him, is so different from all other delights, it is like no other happiness in the world. The whole being is so satisfied in God.  
He that will be content with God, and will really be satisfied with God, may have as much of God as he will. And just in proportion we shall have delight in God.

REMEMBER: Start looking at every obstacle and problem you have as a wonderful opportunity to open communication with God. God can fix anything. God wants a personal relationship with you "FIRST".
Some times God allows the obstacles to come into our lives for the very purpose of drawing us closer to Him. The sooner you start seeking Him, the sooner He can repair your life.
