Delight Thyself In The Lord

Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

The Children of Israel lusted in the wilderness and God gave them their desire.  However God judged them with leanness in their soul.  Our wants and our desires will never please God.  Scripture teaches us that God will give us the desires of our heart when we delight ourselves in the Lord.  But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. Psa 106:14   And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. Psa 106:15
Delight - aw-nag'   be soft or pliable, that is, (figuratively) effeminate or luxurious: - delicate (-ness), (have) delight (self), sport self.
Desires - mish-aw-law'   a request: - desire, petition, that which is required.
This is someone that has desires that are the same as His. She longs to be all that He wants her to be. The innermost cry of her heart will be granted as she stays in her place. She must remain humble, pliable, soft, delicate towards Him. If we will be His He will be ours.
Luxurious - 1. Extremely comfortable, elegant, or enjoyable, esp. in a way that involves great expense:
The Courtship
The Lord desires a wife who enjoys luxurious things. Only the luxurious things His wife like are not the things of the carnal nature. Her riches are His riches. It is now the time during the courtship where He is getting to know her and she is getting to know Him. What he desires and what she desires. Do we desire the things that will please Him? Are the desires of your heart pleasing in His sight? Does He love what is in your heart? Do you love what He loves? Are you riches the same as His?
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
What is your treasure? Answer this for yourself. If you don't know, this will take some time in prayer and In His Word. While you meditate on the Lord and His Words in quiet time alone with Him, you will see and learn much about yourself and about Him.
The Riches of His Kingdom - These are Scriptures to read and for deep meditation. Deep meditation. Let His Word work mightily in you!
