This verse has been on my heart since reading it a couple days ago. I have been reading about what being a help meet means and how peace and joy are found when you are right where you were created to be. So where was I created to be? What was I created to do? To delight is definately one. I know also I was created to submit, honor, and reverence my husband but not just willingly. But I was created to delight in it. Because as I delight in love towards my husband, I am delighting myself in the Lord. I thought about delight's meaning again. I made Mashed Sweet Potato Delight yesterday. And it was wonderful. And I am talking about potatoes. What does it mean to delight in the relationship God created to symbolize the very relationship between Christ and the church? Debi Pearl, author of the book I am reading, writes that 'serving God with (visible) joy and happiness is evidence of a thankful heart.' When I think of delight, I think of smiling. I think of singing. I think of laughing. I think of contentment. And yet. I think of delight and times of uncertainty. But it is these times I must delight myself in the Lord, even with a smile. Can there be delight without? For if I faced uncertain times, chose to delight myself in the Lord, truly believing that he would 'give thee the desires of thine heart', how could I not faithfully smile?
