It is both an emotional response and a spiritual state that reflects one's alignment with God's will and purposes.<br><br><b>Delight in the Lord</b><br><br>The concept of delighting in the Lord is a recurring theme in Scripture. <a href="/psalms/37-4.htm">Psalm 37:4</a> encourages believers to "Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart." This verse suggests that when one's joy and satisfaction are rooted in God, their desires align with His will, leading to a fulfilled life. Delighting in the Lord involves trusting in His goodness, meditating on His attributes, and finding joy in His presence.<br><br><b>Delight in God's Word</b><br><br>The Scriptures emphasize the importance of finding delight in God's Word. <a href="/psalms/1-2.htm">Psalm 1:2</a> describes the blessed man as one whose "delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night." This delight is not merely intellectual but involves a deep, heartfelt appreciation for God's commandments and teachings. It leads to spiritual growth and stability, as seen in the imagery of a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in its season.<br><br><b>Delight in Righteousness and Justice</b><br><br>God Himself delights in righteousness and justice, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/11.htm">Proverbs 11:1</a> : "Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight." Believers are called to reflect God's character by delighting in what is right and just. This involves living a life that honors God through ethical behavior, fairness, and integrity.<br><br><b>Delight in Creation</b><br><br>The Bible also speaks of delight in the beauty and wonder of God's creation. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, after each act of creation, God saw that it was good, indicating His delight in the work of His hands. Believers are encouraged to appreciate and steward the natural world, recognizing it as a reflection of God's creativity and power.<br><br><b>Delight in Worship and Fellowship</b><br><br>Worship and fellowship with other believers are sources of delight for the Christian community. <a href="/psalms/122.htm">Psalm 122:1</a> expresses this joy: "I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD.'" Gathering for worship and mutual edification brings joy and strengthens the bonds of faith among believers.<br><br><b>Delight in the Fear of the Lord</b><br><br><a href="/isaiah/11-3.htm">Isaiah 11:3</a> speaks of the Messiah, saying, "And He will delight in the fear of the LORD." This delight is characterized by reverence, awe, and obedience to God. It is a recognition of His majesty and authority, leading to a life that honors Him.<br><br><b>Delight in God's Salvation</b><br><br>The ultimate source of delight for believers is found in God's salvation. <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a> declares, "I will rejoice greatly in the LORD; my soul will exult in my God. For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness." The joy of salvation is a central theme in the Christian faith, providing hope and assurance of eternal life with God.<br><br>In summary, delight in the biblical sense encompasses a wide range of experiences and attitudes, all rooted in a relationship with God. It is a response to His character, His Word, His creation, and His redemptive work, leading to a life of joy, purpose, and fulfillment.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
