Delight


When I think of the word DELIGHT I think of joy.  So what brings me joy?  Playing with my grandkids - the smell of a newborn baby - the first blooms of spring - yummy food (of course) - cherished friendships - sunbathing on a beach in Hawaii - watching snowflakes come down - morning coffee with my husband - loving Jesus - these and many more things delight me and bring a smile to my face!  But . . . what DELIGHTS the Lord?  Since the beginning of the year I have been reading about the life of David in the Bible and I came across a scripture that jumped out at me.  David is writing and he says, "He (God) set me free and rescued me, for I was His delight!" 2 Samuel 22:20.  Immediately as I read that, I thought . . . I desire to be the Lord's delight too!  I want Him to take joy in my life and to smile when He thinks of me.  I want to live a life that is pleasing to Him so I can say, like David  . . . I am His delight!
