“Acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace:
thereby good shall come to you…For then you shall
have delight in the Almighty…” (Job 22:21&26)
Delight. What a word. It’s defined as great joy and pleasure, and also as both giving and gaining great joy and pleasure. And this from Job, a man who suffered greatly under Satan.
“Call the sabbath a delight…Then shall you delight
yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride
upon the high places of the earth.” (Is. 58:13,14)
“I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth.” That’s a breathtaking promise. It’s an image far surpassing anything I’ve ever hoped for or promised myself. Movie Star, maybe. Astronaut, could be. Inventor, wow. President, excellent. Scientist, finding a cure. Explorer, walking the moon.
These are all exciting and predictable dreams, but I’d
never thought about riding upon the high places of the earth. And that’s not a figment of my imagination or a fantasy to perk up the check-out line at the supermarket; it’s a promise from God.
“Delight youself also in the Lord, and He shall
give you the desires of your heart.” (Ps. 37:4)
