"Delight yourself in the Lordand he will give you the desires of your heart."
What do I delight in? Seeing my wife and three kids happy. I delight in the things that they do and all they have accomplished. Personally, it's accomplishing a goal in the wild, hiking up LeConte each month for 12 months in winter cold and summer heat and the beauty of each season and now trying to walk each mile of trail in the Smokys. At work, it's doing something creative that moves people, engages their emotions and causes them to take action. It's also seeing those I work with succeed and helping them succeed.
But all of these things will be accomplished if I delight in the Lord rather than in people, experience, accomplishments and things. I need to change my focus, raise it a bit, look to the eternal rather than the immediate. He is able to do amazing things.
