Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 37:4, where David wrote this:
"Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."
The reason God can give anything and everything that is desired, by a
humble, Spirit-filled, loving, and faithful Christian is because there is perfect harmony between God's will, and this believer's will. Those who delight in Christ seek their fulfillment and their pleasure in Him. And because they love God, they only want from Him those things that glorify the Lord, and build up Christ's church.
We will never delight in God so long as we love our sin. But, when we
forsake our sin, and cleave to Christ--we never ever regret it. God will be no man's debtor; He will fill us with His delights.
[Puritan quote of the day: "[God's] glory is much promoted by the
preaching of the word, which is His engine whereby He converts souls." --Thomas Watson, in, "A Body of Divinity"]
