Delight

[127 words]

To “delight” in something is to experience great pleasure. It is to be pleased by someone or something.

Scripture tells us that God delights in His Son (cf. Isa. 42:1; Matt. 3:17).

In like fashion, we should too! Knowing and following the Son of God, Jesus the Christ, should delight those of us who are Christians—it should bring us great pleasure!

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Ps. 37:4).

That which brings us pleasure speaks volumes about us. 

We weep when we lose what we love, and we will beam with an undeniable smile when we gain what we love. 

With that in mind, what do our expressions of delight reveal about our hearts?
