Take delight in the Lord , and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 NIV
Take delight in. Now here's a word I wanted to delve into a little. Dictonary.com defines the word delight as "a high degree of pleasure or enjoyment; joy; rapture". Similar words include contentment and enchantment. For me, I would think it's similar to how I feel when I'm walking through a Christmas wonderland. I'm enchanted and delighted at the sights and sounds.
Now imagine being that delighted with God. If your heart takes delight in him, he'll give you your desires which would be to be more like him. It's not the earthly desires he's talking about. It's our soul and eternal desires. Imagine being so contented in him you desire nothing more in this life.
Delight in him. Be enchanted by him.
