Delight in the Lord

November 6.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him:
He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

PSALM 145, verse 19.


Delight thyself also in the Lord;
and He shall give thee the desires of
thine heart.

PSALM 37, verse 4.


Though to-day may not fulfil
All thy hopes, have patience still;
For perchance to-morrow's sun
Sees thy happier days begun.

P. GERHARDT.


His great desire and delight is God;
and by desiring and delighting,
he hath Him. Delight thou in the Lord,
and He shall give thee thy heart's
desire,--HIMSELF; and then surely
thou shall have all. Any other
thing_commit it to Him,
and He shall bring it to pass.

R. LEIGHTON.


All who call on God in true faith,
earnestly from the heart, will certainly
be heard, and will receive what they have
asked and desired, although not in the
hour or in the measure, or the very thing
which they ask; yet they will obtain
something greater and more glorious
than they had dared to ask.

MARTIN LUTHER.
