delight
“Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 NIV
When I think of delight I think of pudding. Light fluffy lemon pudding. Um. That's delightful. I think blue skies with puffy white clouds. I think of children sleeping peacefully. Delight... what do you think of?
Find your delight in Him. In Him. Not in where I am or what I am doing. But Him. It doesn't mean that I will abandon the work... no way!! But is refocuses me. Again. Find Him. Rest in Him. Delight in Him.
Then.
Then He will fulfill that desire...
First Him. Then my desire.
The desire of my heart is strong. In fact is almost aches for what is to come...
You know the kind of desire that you can see when you close your eyes. You try to imagine it from what you have seen? The kind of desire that makes your heart skip a beat or two... the kind of desire that keeps you keeping on. Even when you are completely unaware of when your desire will come to fruition?
I want to be in PNG. He has called me! I am pleased with God for His perfect timing and where He has us now, but I still catch my mind wandering throughout each and every day for what is to come.
It is a daily struggle to feel useful where I am at. (This is lie from you know where too...) Which is funny cause I stay so darn busy. I am homeschooling, cooking and cleaning, managing a home, and all the while constantly (yes. all. the. time.) communicating with someone somewhere (sometimes multiple someones and multiple somewheres) about Bible translation. The jobs I hold all seem to blend in together to fill each and every day with a bit of chaos and a bit of calm (hit and miss with the calm)... but yet my mind still wandering... to when I am there. I know I am within the Lord's will because He is in control and has me waiting, but yet I know this desire that I feel is not from me.
So the Word calms me. Once. Again. It brings peace and purpose to my mind and the place that the Lord has me. Delight in Him.
