Take Delight in the LORD



          Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Drink it in slowly….paying close attention to God’s timing in your life.

            Though we know that we should respect God’s timing, it’s not always easy to accept it.  We get impatient; sometimes we run ahead of Him.  Ever done that?  I certainly have!  Let’s strive to understand the value of God’s timing.  He never gets in a hurry; nor does He ever lag behind and show up late! Time is God’s tool to carry our His perfect plan in our lives.

            Psalm 37:4 tells us to  Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”  Through the years I have come to look at this verse with a new perspective.   What we truly desire, often, is a desire put into our heart from the Lord.  He has purposed it in our lives and His will is to give us that gift of seeing the desire come to fruition. It brings joy to Him to be able to bring joy to us!

 Charles Stanley encourages us to remember that “timing is everything, and key puzzle pieces are falling into place as we wait.  God is changing hearts and engineering circumstances we have no idea even exist.  Therefore, the delays we face are not a denial of His promise; rather they are an integral part of His strategy to arrange all the details and get us positioned for His excellent plan.”

           Keep praying, walk patiently with the Lord, and expect joyful blessings in God’s perfect timing.
