God delights in me

The whole concept that God delights in me seems so...unreal! I mean think about?!?!?! There's this guy who loves me with an everlasting love. The best part is that He wants me to love Him back. He wants me to delight in everything He has for me. Essentially, HE WANTS ME!! To be wanted is such an wonderful feeling.

As I was spending time with God, I was drawn to Psalm 1. Gosh, I haven't looked at this scripture in far too long!

 ¹ Blessed is the man
         Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
         Nor stands in the path of sinners,
         Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
 ² But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
         And in His law he meditates day and night.
 ³ He shall be like a tree
         Planted by the rivers of water,
         That brings forth its fruit in its season,
         Whose leaf also shall not wither;
         And whatever he does shall prosper.
 ⁴ The ungodly are not so,
         But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
 ⁵ Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
         Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
 ⁶ For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
         But the way of the ungodly shall perish.


I want to be that person the psalmist describes. I want to delight in God and on His Word. I want to meditate on it 24/7. I want to be rooted so deep in Him that no matter what I do I WILL prosper. The best part of that is that I know I only can prosper because of Him.


As I've been interviewing for jobs and really seeking God about my future, I realize there's only one thing I need to do and that's focus my heart on Him. He will bring me through situations. He will open doors that need to be opened and shut doors that need to be shut. I want to seek after His righteousness. I want my desires to be His desires. I want the path I walk down to be the path He wanted me to pursue. I want to whole-heartedly live a life that seeks after Him and fulfills His desires.


I love how God moves in my life. I love how He fulfills my every desire, and I have to constantly remind myself that no earthly desire will ever fulfill me like the love Jesus. God is just so good! I've decided it's fitting for me to meditate on Psalm 1:3:


"He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper."
