Joy in the Lord

"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4

When you have a child, you witness daily the joy they find in the small things in life. They delight themselves in things we don't even notice (like water!). Seeing the joy and delight Landon finds in just the littlest things reminds me of the joy I should find in the Lord.
God's word promises that if we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of our hearts. What a great reminder to me of what my priorities should be. Instead of placing the things I desire first, I need to focus on delighting myself in the author of my salvation. As an added blessing and result of delighting myself in Him, He will give me the desires of my heart.
