Some kinds of earthly delight can feed our hearts briefly, but when difficulties come, our hearts will wither in the drought of life's most challenging times. However, delighting in the Lord and in his will for us provides us with ongoing and ever-fresh joy that bubbles up within us and gives us life through the Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39). Out of this lifestyle and grace from God's Spirit — a life centered on God and his word while trusting his Spirit to supply our hearts with his truth — we can prosper in the short term and discover refreshment, strength, and resiliency to not wither in life's worst droughts.
My Prayer...
Dear God, Holy One of heaven, I delight in you and your truths. I find refreshment in your abiding Spirit. I choose the truth of your promise for refreshment and strength for the challenging passages in life and for bearing fruit in the seasons that you seek it from me. In Jesus' name, I trust, and I pray this in faith. Amen.
