The Lord is suppose to be our Delight. We should be very excited each day to spend time with Jesus. He should be the highlight of every day. The 1st person we speak to each morning and the last thought on our minds every night. In order for us to grow closer to Him, become more like Him and to prosper in life we need to make Him THE priority in our lives, in All that we do. Keep Him on the fore-front in everything and remember His presence in our lives.
The sinful nature in me wants to ask the question why? What does it matter if I spend time with Him or not? My life is just fine the way it is. Why fix it if it's not broken? But the truth is that it is very broken without Him. I can look back on the times in my life when He was left out and I can show you the mess that I have made of it all on my own. We were made to need Him. Deep down in the essence of what makes us us, He made us to need Him. Why? Not because He needs us to need Him. Not because He is selfish and needs attention from us. But because we simply can't exist without Him. His very breath gave us life. We can't physically survive day to day without Him, because rather we know it or not or want to addmit it or not, He holds the world and its very existence together. We think that we go through day to day life in control of what we do and sure we make our own decisions but we will never beable to survive entirely without Him. Why would we want to go through life without Him when He controls everything anyway? Trust me, life is so much easier to deal with when we delight in Him.
Father, thank you so very much for your presence in our lives. Thank you for making us to need you and for not leaving us to our own devices. Help us Lord to recognize your presence so that we may be aware of our actions and make them pleasing to you. Help us make you the priority in all that we do. Be our Delight Lord.
In Jesus name amen.
