Delight 101: The Imperative of Joy
King David writes in Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Fronted by an imperative, what we see in this passage—and across Scripture—is an imperative of joy. C.S. Lewis once wrote, “Joy is the serious business of heaven.” We must ask ourselves, have we taken this business seriously? Have we grasped the joy that is ours in Christ? Has it changed where we derive our highest delight? Delight 101: The Imperative of Joy sets out to answer these questions and to propose that no delight compares to that which is found in Christ. Jesus concerns himself with our Joy (John 15:11; 16:24; 17:13), revealing to us that the Christian undertaking doesn’t merely seek to reform your thoughts but to reform your delights. We can find our pleasure most acutely satisfied in God. We need only ask him.
