Delight
“Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” I believe that’s how it goes.
There are so many things that I want – thing that my heart desires. Some of them are right – others are perhaps fantasies. But what does it mean to “delight” ones self in another.
1. Here is some definitions of “delight”; Delight: a high degree of pleasure or enjoyment; joy; rapture, something that gives great pleasure, to give great pleasure, satisfaction, or enjoyment to; please highly, have great pleasure; take pleasure, Great pleasure; joy.
2. Something that gives great pleasure or enjoyment.
3. To take great pleasure or joy: delights in taking long walks.
4. To give great pleasure or joy: an old movie that still delights.
5. Middle English delit, from Old French, a pleasure, from delitier, to please, charm, from Latin dēlectāre : dē-, intensive pref.; see de- + lactāre, frequentative of lacere, to entice.] a feeling of extreme pleasure or satisfaction, something or someone that provides a source of happiness, give pleasure to or be pleasing to, take delight in, hold spellbound [syn: enchant] [ant: disenchant]
I know that there are a lot of definitions but look at them – see the last one. “hold spellbound – enchant” Interesting. To be almost entertained, to enjoy, to be pleased.
What do you think about that? It seems to mean to be captivated and satisfied in our Lord. To know that He is enough, to enjoy Him, just to be satisfied in His presence.
To delight my ones self in Him:
