What brings you genuine delight? Perhaps it's watching a sunset, enjoying your favorite meal, or spending time with someone you love. When we delight in something, we don't need to be forced to pursue it—we're naturally drawn to it. Psalm 37:4 offers a beautiful promise: "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Many misinterpret this verse as a formula: delight in God, and He'll give you whatever you want. But there's something deeper happening here. When we truly delight in God—finding joy in His presence, satisfaction in His ways, and pleasure in His character—something transformative happens. Our desires begin to align with His. We start wanting what He wants. The things that please Him become the things that please us. This isn't seasonal or emotional; it becomes part of our identity. We don't delight in God to get something from Him—we delight in Him because He is worthy of our affection. And as we build our lives on this foundation, we discover that He faithfully cares for us and fulfills desires that now reflect His heart. Today, approach God not as a cosmic vending machine but as the treasure of your heart. Seek His presence not for what He can give you, but for who He is.

Reflection Question

What would it look like for you to genuinely delight in God this week, focusing on who He is rather than what He can do for you?

Quote "When you delight in God, it's not seasonal or moment or based on the moment or an emotion. I delight in him because that's part of who I am. I built my life on that. And as I delight in him, he takes care of me. He grants the desires in my heart."

Prayer

Lord, forgive me for times when I've approached You as a means to an end rather than the treasure of my heart. Help me to delight in You for who You are—Your goodness, Your faithfulness, Your love. Transform my desires to align with Yours as I find my greatest joy in You. Amen.
