Psalm 37:4 says that we should take delight in the Lord, and he will give us the desires of our heart. What does it mean to delight in the Lord?
When we say that something is delightful, we mean that it is charming, attractive, that it is pleasing. We say we are delighted when we experience lots of pleasure. So to take delight in the Lord means to take pleasure from Him, to be charmed by Him, to be attracted to Him. Taking delight in the Lord means more than being grateful for what He has done, or worshipping Him for His power. It means feeling genuine pleasure from simply being in His presence. When we feel this way, says the psalm, he will give us the desires of our heart. But what does your heart desire?
