Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37: 4.

dependent on what we choose to do.
Our light affliction is but for a moment and works for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

To delight in God is to delight in His word.
God commands us to delight ourselves in His word, and it is for our own
good.

Three ways we can delight ourselves in God’s word:
1. 1. Give attention to the Word. Our spirit and mind need to feed on the right mental nutrition.
We act on what we constantly feed on. Incorporating the word of God, therefore, into
our basic mental process is the wise thing to aim at.
2. 2. Spend at least 20 minutes of your day, preferably morning time to meditate
and ponder on the scriptures. See yourself conforming more and more to the Word.
