Bible Question: I am having trouble understanding the meaning of delight as used in this passage. |
Bible Answer: Delight means to meet your gratifications. Scripture here is admonishing us to allow the Divineto meet our needs rather than seeking worldly type of pleasures. It is the natural need to worship however the natural man doesn't always understand where to go for fullfillment. The Devotion to God is a covenant. You essentially surrender and It promises that you will be content regardless of the situation. The secret desire of the heart is happiness..God promises this if you delight in It alone. |
