Delight
17 The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
Over six hundred weeks ago, this scripture struck a chord with me, and this week it struck another chord but in a different manner. What delights you, or a better question might be what do you find pleasure in daily? I find that a lot of the pleasure I experience is around friends and family, but there are those unexpected locations that I can find things that I delight in when I look through a different lens. The question is, why should I be looking through a different lens? God looks at us through the same lens all the time, a lens of love and forgiveness. How many times do we look at others through love and forgiveness? We should take delight in others, no matter our circumstances. We should turn to delight when we find ourselves doubting our circumstances, easier said than done of course. I have found over the past week that there are people who delight in me and their presence around me. I just need to remember that those same people that find pleasure in my company, I should also recognize how I can delight in them. Take a moment to reflect this week on how you can delight and know that God delights in you.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
