Delight in Yahweh

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires.
Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.
Psalm 37:4-5 (NIV)

Delighted

I am so delighted in & with the Lord, especially this morning. 'Delight' is a word I don't think about or use a lot, but it came to mind this morning. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, delight means "a high degree of satisfaction" or "extreme satisfaction." Here's the scene: I want to make my wife some coffee & something warm to eat this morning. Coffee is a 'no-brainer', but what about something warm. I made her melted cheese & Canadian bacon on a toasted piece of french bread. She thanked me & then added an delicious egg to it; only ate half of it & gave the rest back to me. This reminded me of a few of things. (#1) Momma is the best cook in the house & I cannot really be called any type of cook; and (2) He who finds a wife finds a good thing & obtains favor of the Lord! Of course, as I thought of the Lord's favor to me, I very quickly experienced a high degree of satisfaction in Him & His never ending care. It seems interesting to me that the things that cause me to delight in something or someone are many times the 'little things.' This morning I am delighted with my wife & with the all-knowing God who gave her to me. Blessed be the name of the Lord (& with Proverbs 31 in mind - I also bless Susan, my wife).
