Delight!

 ...but the prayer of the upright is his delight.  Proverbs 15:8b

Websters dictionary defines delight as, a high degree of gratification, pleasure or joy.

After reading this verse in Proverbs, it got me thinking, what delights the Lord?

    He delights in the prayer of the upright- Proverbs 15:8b

    He delights in honesty- Proverbs 11:1

    He delights in those who are upright in their way-Proverbs 11:20

    He delights in those who deal truly-Proverbs 12:22

    He delights in those who know His ways and approach Him-Isaiah 58:2

    He delights in mercy-Micah 7:18

    He delights in wisdom-Proverbs 8:30

    He delights in His Son-Isaiah 42:1

And He delights in me!  Psalm 18:19

Knowing all the things that delight the Lord, I turned to Scripture to see what should delight me:

    Delight To do His will-Psalm 40:8

    Delight in the LORD-Psalm 37:4

    Delight in thy comforts-Psalm 94:19

    Delight in the Lord's way, in the way He leads me-Psalm 37:23

    Delight in His statutes- Psalm 119:16

    Delight in His testimonies and counselor's- Psalm 119:24

    Delight in the path of His commandments-Psalm 119:35

    Delight in His commandments:  Psalm 119:47,143, Psalm 112:1

    Delight in His Law-Psalm 119:70,77,92,174

So, as a child of God, what should bring me great gratification, pleasure and joy!

    The Word; Jesus Christ.

I delight in Him, He delights in me.

    How delightful!

        But that's just me!

" The great secret of the Christian life is to begin experiencing God as He desires me to experience Him.  God's greatest DELIGHT (capitalization mine) is to bring me into His presence."
