"The word of God is the greatest, most necessary, most important thing in Christendom. Without the external Word we would not know one spirit from another...Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scripture." - Martin Luther

God is Our Delight!

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Name me a greater glory, treasure and delight than GOD? There isn’t, is there?
GOD is the greatest delight there is. Period! Can we see the sense there is in God calling us to delight in the Greatest Delight, Treasure and Glory there is? So, delight yourself in the Greatest Delight there is, and on top of what you find in Him…He will also give you the desire of your heart! Imagine that! This stuff is crazy! You will experience the greatest pleasure there is…worship of the creator rather than the creation…and then you will experience the enjoyment of a plethora of lesser delights…enjoying all things God has made for us to enjoy...and in enjoyment of these you will truly glorify God and delight in Him even more!

Remember the chasm of difference that exists between worship of God and enjoyment of His creation! Only here the two find harmony!

Spurgeon says it in his classic manner:

Every name, attribute, word, or deed of Jehovah, should be delightful to us, and in meditating thereon our soul should be as glad as is the epicure who feeds delicately with a profound relish for his dainties.
(Treasury of David, Commentary on Psalms)
