HOW TO DELIGHT YOURSELF IN GOD: Psalm 37:3-4

"Trust in the LORD and do good;
     dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
 Delight yourself in the LORD
     and he will give you the desires of your heart."
 Psalm 37:3-4

On occasion I will watch the Discovery Channel show "Gold Rush". It's high pseudo-real life drama. The drama is that these people are risking everything to hit it big. They often encounter circumstances that seem out of their control. They are left with the option of giving up or just pressing on. Well, as Christians we are given one more option when things seem at their worst. We can delight ourselves in the Lord. 

Trust in the Lord, do good, dwell in the land, enjoy safe pasture and delight yourself in the Lord.  That is David's advice. Really, verse three is just how to delight yourself in the Lord. How do you delight yourself in the Lord? 
  • You trust him to be Sovereign over everything do good where you are at. 
  • Live by faith where you live. 
  • Enjoy the safety and security of knowing that if you are trusting God, if you aren't where you are supposed to be, he can move you. Therefore, if you are trying to trust him you can trust he will reign over your life.
Father, help us to trust you right where you have us. Thank you that if you want to move us, you can. Praise be to you in us today!
