Who are you delighted to see?

Wise words from a wise man......Bobby Arnold:

I'd challenge anyone to spend time star gazing and not come away with a greater awe of and trust in God. He simply lays a bit of Himself out before you.

It is like living the below scripture:

Psalm 37:4 - "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

ponder this... who are you delighted to see? who makes you smile, or enjoy the moment a bit more. Likely someone with whom you're very familiar. therefore, the more we know about God, stands to reason the more we'll delight in Him.

and therein lies the call to Christians. the more we delight in Him, the more others will see Him in us. suddenly, every victory or defeat becomes an opportunity for His glory to shine in our daily lives.

makes sense, then, that we constantly and consistently immerse ourselves in opportunities to become more familiar with God. some combination of things: star gazing, reading bible, service, prayer, gathering together, etc...

without a doubt such Delight will change us from the inside out, influencing the very desires of our heart.
