"Our Real Delight" -Too

"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalms 37:4) It just so happens, that when we delight in the Lord, then the desires of our hearts are more in line with His will then they would otherwise be. How that works out in the grand scheme of things really depends on our walk in the Spirit of God; because if we are walking in the Spirit, then those things that we desire are the things that will enhance our spiritual walk; if we are not walking in the Spirit, then we are hindered already, and our delight is obviously not in the Lord. Isn't interesting how that works? Do you want more of God in your life? then delight in the things of God! JUST DO IT!!! In other words, stop filling your head with garbage, and stop wasting your time doing the things that deprive you of fellowship with God, and start reading your Bible, meditating upon His word, committing yourself onto prayer, and letting God speak into your life. Really, it is all about you and how much you want God to rule and rein in your life; He wants all of you, and ultimately He will get what He wants; but in the meantime, why would we want to settle for anything less? Just like the fact that Romans 8:28 is taken by many to mean that all things work out in our lives, maybe because they associate Joseph and his statement to his brothers in Genesis 50:20, saying, "ye thought it evil against me; but God meant it unto good"; when in God's economy, our good is to be more like Jesus; meaning that our good might require a little suffering in this world in order to get there. After all, if we look at the life of Jesus Christ, He was deprived of the things of this world every day; yet He lived to do the will of His Father by living in humility and suffering, even to the point of death upon the cross; in some eyes, that didn't really work out so good for someone that really loved God. The bottom line, is that if we are delighting ourselves in the Lord, then those things that He gives us will be the desires of our heart, because He loves giving us the things that draw us closer and closer to Him, which really should be the real delight that we seek... "For I reckon the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope; because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." (Romans 8:18-23)
