Five-Minute Friday--Delight

This weeks word is:

Delight



GO.

"And his delight is in the Law of the Lord, and on His Law he meditates day and night."

The Law of the Lord truly is the most delightful thing. His decrees, His promises, His commands. But do I delight in them? Do I even think often of them?

I have a very deep sense of morality, of right and wrong, of God's Law. But is it because I delight in it?

Lately I have wondered if I would be described by others as a lover of Jesus. If someone was talking about me, would they say, "Oh, she loves Jesus with all her heart."? I really don't know. But, I want that to be what defines me: Jesus. 

I want Jesus to be my delight.

How is this accomplished? 

I believe the way to love Jesus more is to understand more deeply what exactly He has done for us. To learn more and more of the Gospel. When I began to study more about Theology and learned more of God's attributes, I was simply in awe of what a great God we serve.

So, in order to make Jesus my delight, I need to delight in His Word, the Gospel.

STOP.

  1. Very well said! I agree with your statement: "Lately I have wondered if I would be described by others as a lover of Jesus. If someone was talking about me, would they say, "Oh, she loves Jesus with all her heart."? I really don't know. But, I want that to be what defines me: Jesus."
    I often wonder that, and I hope that each day as I grow closer to Him that others will see Him in me.
    I also wanted to let you know that I DO see Jesus in you! In all of your posts, you seem to strive to glorify Him. Your words and your attitude truly show your love for Him and I have learned a great deal from you! Please continue posting and letting His light shine through you! :)

    Sincerely, Jordan
