Webster defines delight as "a high degree of gratification" and then gives one of the synonyms as JOY. This morning I read these verses from Psalm 119:35-37
Lead me in the path of your commandments,
for I delight in it.
Incline my heart to your testimonies,
and not to selfish gain!
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;
and give me life in your ways.
I actually had to stop and chew on those for a while. If I am delighting in Him (Psalm 37) then my delight is also found in His commandments - and I follow that path willingly. I am turning my heart towards Him and not to my own selfish ways. I am looking at things that are from Him and not on things that are worthless...
So the question that came to mind is- am I actually doing this? Am I living my life in this manner? Lots to think and ponder for a Tuesday morning...

Both delight and joy are wrapped up in Him. You will find them both as you seek Him. Well done oldest daughter. :)
