4 “Take delight in the LORD, and HE will give you your heart’s desires. 5 Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust HIM, and HE will help you.” ~ Psalm 37:4-5
David calls us to take delight in the LORD and to commit everything we have and do to HIM. But how do we do this? To delight in someone means to experience great pleasure and joy in his or her presence. This happens only when we know that person well. Therefore, to delight in the LORD, we must know HIM better. Knowledge of GOD’s great love for us will indeed give us delight.
To commit ourselves to the LORD means entrusting everything – our lives, families, jobs, possessions – to HIS control and guidance. To commit ourselves to the LORD means to trust in HIM, believing that HE can care for us better than we can care for ourselves. We should be willing to wait patiently for HIM to work out what is best for us – for our lives, our families, and our jobs. – “Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for HIM to act.” – Psalm 37:7
Father, we take much delight in YOU. When we look around – in our own little world – we can see YOU and YOUR beauty everywhere. Thank YOU Father, for giving us the desires of our heart. – We know LORD, that when we commit everything we have and do to YOU, YOU will take care of us. Help us LORD, to be still in YOUR holy presence and wait for YOU to act in our lives.
