MP3: My Soul's Delight

My Soul’s Delight

Words & Music

Dennis Jernigan

January 9, 1987

When the Lord set me free He drew me into a life of intimacy with Him through worship. As I came to recognize how much delight He takes in my presence, I began to seek Him all the more, finding great freedom and peace and joy simply by reminding my own soul that He was with me! Then I discovered that His Word spoke directly about this:

Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37L4 NASB

It is when we abandon ourselves in sheer delight of Who He is that our own needs and desires and dreams and visions are truly realized! This only causes me to want more of Him! Why would I not seek the One Who set me free and showed me the reason for my very existence? What are the desires of your heart? Delight in Jesus!
