Delight in the LORD

WORDs of Saving Grace - delight in the LORD

Psalms 37:4  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Delight is a description of joy and happiness. Not duty, requirement, or commandment.

There are many who perceive the worship of God as a duty in order to maintain their religion and status with God. It is viewed as "you better do it, or else".

But fellowship and peace with the Lord is a continual presence and heartfelt gratitude continually. A continual prayer, and continuous worship rather than a prescribed duty of "thou shalt".

This same willing love and joy was even shown through Christ Himself and His willingness to die for our sin.

John 10:18  No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
