Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of
your heart. Psalm 37:4
Who doesn't wish for the desires of their heart to be granted! We all wish our desires or dreams would come true, don't we? Well, the Bible assures us of a sure fire way of getting our wishes granted; which is to delight ourselves in the Lord!
Let us discuss How to delight in the Lord? To delight in the Lord means to delight in the things of the Lord. We will look at Scripture examples of things that we can delight in that are of the Lord.:
* If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
and the Lord’s holy day
honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find
your joy in the Lord,
and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land
and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.”
The mouth of the Lord has spoken. Isaiah 58:13-14
* I long for your salvation, O LORD, and your law is my delight. Psalm 119:174
* Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in
the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalm 1:1-2
* He will delight in the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:3
* Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands.Psalm 112:1
* I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me
with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness... Isaiah 61:10
* My soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation. Psalm 35:9
Enough said I believe. The Scripture clearly tells us how all we can delight in the Lord. When we do as it says, all the desires of our heart will be granted!
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given
to you as well. Matthew 6:33

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.Psalm 84:11

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6
