Do you delight in God? Do you seek Him just to delight and take pleasure in Him? Do you find the place of His presence in intimacy that is unique to only you and Him?
The psalms are full of admonitions to rejoice in God; take pleasure in Him; shout with joy before Him; sing and make melody before Him. In spite of all these encouraging words to do so, how often we present our burdens, and then carry them away still on our shoulders?!
Rejoicing before God makes those burdens fall right off. He wants us to shake free of them. He encourages us to do so. Delighting in God gives Him great pleasure. Isn't giving God pleasure one of the reasons for living? When you are in Christ you please God a great deal. Go beyond that today, Give Him great pleasure. Live life rejoicing.
Determine to really live until you are dead.
Psalm 149:1-2 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of the saints.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
Let the children of Zion be
Joyful in their King.
