Delighting in the Lord something that sounds good, right? But what does it really look like and more importantly, why is it something that God both invites and urges us to do? If you're anything like me, life has throwing you some curve balls lately and as I've been seeking God on how to navigate this season, He led me Psalm 37, specifically, verse 4. So in today's video, I am sharing what God has revealed to me about delighting in Him and I hope it encourages you on your walk, like it has for me. enjoy!! love you.

Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my KZfaq channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!
delight yourself in the lord, why god wants us to delight in him, god wants you to delight in him, why god wants you to delight in him

hey, sis! I missed you last week ♥ let's chat! Today's question: in what ways would your life look (even a little bit) different if you started intentionally focusing on delighting in God? For me: I wouldn't experience as much stress from trying to "control" things!! This is the biggest thing God has been showing to me as I've been unpacking this whole concept with Him. There's some freedom that Christ paid the price for me to experience AND that I have access to and delighting in the Lord helps me bridge that gap.

For me it's having ultimate joy in God! I feel like my burdens are a lot lighter when I spend time with the Lord rather than fixating on the things of the earth. I have certain desires that I would want to be fulfilled that aren't fulfilled yet. But God has me focused on Him and He is my happy place and it helps me to look at the world and my circumstances differently!

Amen welcome sis no matter how long that's what I want to say. Jesus christ pay for our freedom and we to learn from the father he is our heavenly father that's so loving and faithful full of kindness waiting to bless his children. Want his children to get to know him. Our heavenly father is alpha and omega there's no one like him. The children of God knows our heavenly father loves them and we grow in strength and confident and in our identity in Christ Jesus. And so much more don't get me started talking about Jesus what can you say a lot believers. The heavenly father children loves talking about Jesus the holy spirit in whatever area. My apologies but this wasn't the topic that she ask what would you're life look like & so on . But I just wanted to say you did good young lady loving and choosing Jesus. Because it's a choice everyone must make. Peace be with you.

I’ve started being delightful in the Lord throughout my daily tasks. When I’m feeling blah or unmotivated to do the dishes or laundry I chat with Jesus. Thank him for the chores and the ability to do them. When I’m frustrated and worn out with this kids I delight in the Lord and thank him while holding my little ones.

I feel like this word was for me, for sure. I just finished up school and have began focusing more on settling down/getting married. Some days, I’m fine but other days I get really down about it. Praying to God/Elohim to send me my man! How I’m so tired of doing everything alone and how I feel more deserving than this person who is a cheater or a liar or etc. I’ve become TOO hyper focused on this and I’ve been noticing it take away from my happiness because I’m basing it on how well this date went or whatever. I’ve been single for so long that I’m now starting to feel like giving up, and maybe I should. I take this video popping up just now as my sign to leave dating alone for now and get re-centered with the Lord (Adonai) and just TRUST HIM, and stop trying to control everything. Thank you 🙏🏾

I feel you, I'm 34 with 2 kids and no options in sight. It has been my greatest desire since I was a little girl to have a husband, unfortunately I have had nothing but rejection from men and bad experiences with them. Sadly a relationship has become an idol for me. I've been single and alone for 14 years and its killing me mentally and emotionally. Pray God sends me a husband also

As we seek Him first, and His righteousness, we learn to also delight in Him. Love to you all! 💕

Hi Aatifah. I feel like I am going through the same thing and I had to actually be more conscious about what I was asking the Lord for and how I was reacting when I felt like I didn't get it. I had to repent for that and refocus my attention on being grateful for what I have and re-establishing my faith in His ability to do what is best for me. This is not easy and I don't want to make it seems like all of my internal feelings have melted away but I am not idolizing the love I want anymore and I am just trusting the Most High to do what He does. He does not make mistakes so whatever is happening is right on par with what is supposed to b happening. I hope this helps you as it did me. God Bless you and things will get better, you will see.

God is truly good and always wants the best for us and this was truly a great reminder of that. God cares for us and He wants the best for us and we can only experience that by focusing on Him. Thank you so much for this.! God bless you!

So true! I’m working on intimacy with the Lord through fearing the Lord and delighting in Him. My life is already looking different in how I interact and see others. I have more patience and have more joy, and I’m not so focused on the things I was before, like finding a husband. When I start to delight in Him he fills up all those areas that I felt I was lacking. My concern with finding a husband was really a signal that I was lacking intimacy & trust with God.

I love this! Delighting in the Lord allows me to take the focus and attention off myself and putting it on God. In this season I’ve been unemployed for about 18 months now and really focusing on that can cause me to feel down and depressed but redirecting my focus on God allows me to set my eyes on him and waiting for his perfect timing. This time has allowed me to rest, refuel spiritually, care for my newborn and family in ways that I couldn’t have imagined if I was still working. If you’re in a similar season, I encourage you to delight in the Lord.

Thank you for this. I’ve been single for so long, barely dating because it’s hard finding genuine connections and been sad seeing my peers in healthy relationships and getting married. I just need to keep in mind that I am loved & wanted by God so that I can truly enjoy my singleness until God presents someone to me worth the wait.

For me, spending more time with God and delighting in him has been more freeing and have me more at peace. My first response and defense for everything used to be get angry and wonder how things would impact me. Since I’ve began being more mindful of my thoughts, my focus, and in every situation asking “What would Jesus Do?” I am noticing that I am more at peace and centered. I still need God with taking care of me, how I eat, and being sure to move my body around.

Wow! This is just a confirmation of what I've read about Saturday. Ecclesiastes 3:1 "there is time for every DELIGHT and event or purpose under heaven." and I look deep into the word Delight and it says: is a high degree of gratification/ extreme satisfaction, contentment or fulfillment.. To me delighting in the Lord means being content/satisfied whether things are going my way or not cause most of our stress comes from failing to accept and be at peace with how things are, trying to fix what is beyond our control, failing to live in a moment but always ahead thinking, panicking about the future instead of just being content and fulfilled right here. I'm literally at peace right now, I've been loosing people left, right and center and I've waisted my time trying to make means that they stay and beating up my self on where did I go wrong but I've realised that no matter what I do they'll leave if they want and will never reciprocate the energy no matter how much I prove my loyalty. I'm at peace and continue to delight in the Lord.

Good morning Ms. Melody Alisha: I hope this comment finds you and your family doing well. I am doing good! Thank Daddy and Jesus above for speaking through you to deliver His message to all of us! I appreciate it. The most important factor for me to learn and grasp is to learning to not allow others to control nor talk me out of my relationship with Daddy and Jesus above to fulfilling Their purpose for my life on Earth. It is all about me delighting in the word and in Daddy and Jesus above with all of my heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit. I have a sincere heart for Daddy and Jesus above and want out relationship ans line of communication to be open and honest at all times. My freedom lies in Daddy and Jesus only!! 👆🏽🙌🏽😇🙏🏽💪🏽🤗 Have a blessed week!

For me, delighting in the Lord means experiencing more peace, joy, and thankfulness.Lately, I’ve found myself more focused on my circumstances. Which took the focus away from God. Placing my trust and focus on him would shift my heart posture to take on his desires and experience joy that’s not contingent upon my circumstances; but because of how good God is.

This command to delight in the Lord gives me freedom to trust Him and rejoice that He loves me and my unique worship. We are all one of one in the body of Jesus Christ but we all have our own sound that God wants to hear as we delight in His goodness. We must delight in the Lord even and especially when things don’t feel good. I was once in a choir but I wasn’t confident in my singing voice so I would barely sing and try to just blend in with other strong voices. The choir director could tell when everyone wasn’t singing with all their heart in it and would stop and have everyone sing the part individually in these instances. God wants to hear all of us! I want put my whole heart in delighting in Him because He only made one of me and He wants hear me along with all His other sons and daughters. Thank you Melody Alisa for sharing that passage of scripture and the message God revealed to you. 🙏🏽🥰😍

I concur! My life would look different if I just allowed God to have the control he rightfully owns...while I sit back and allow Him to guide me as He sees fit. He is a gracious and all knowing God who has proven Himself too many times over...so why in my humanness can't I just sit down and let God be God? He knows my biggest struggle is the unknown...bc I'm a planner. I like to know the plan. And I feel like that's why I keep facing that same struggle... And he keeps telling me, 'You are not in control; Yes, you will wait... Because my ways and thoughts are higher, greater, and more intentional, purposeful, and careful than yours could ever be. Just trust Me."

"in what ways would your life look (even a little bit) different if you started intentionally focusing on delighting in God?" gooooodness, it would look more like satisfaction. authentic and true satisfaction. i keep having this image in my head of the Father sitting crossed-legged on the ground, and me as His child just resting with Him, reclining on Him with no care in the world. you spoke about singleness and that season, which i am walking in, but you also spoke to the desire/yearning to step into purpose and accomplishments. i feel like that last bit has been eating at me the last couple of days, and ironically (but not coincidentally), the Father led me to Psalm 37 as well. just to know that being with Him is accomplishment annnd satisfaction in itself isn't just enough - it's more than enough and the ultimate call of our lives, no matter what the Lord chooses to do through us! thank you, melody, for sharing this encouragement, and thank you for sharing it once you received the green light from the Lord. your obedience folds perfectly into His timing and helps us out here in the flock hear His voice all the more clearer!

And then I go back to wondering if I'm supposed to do my natural day to day, doing nothing different and allowing God to work so that I'll naturally step into my blessings

To God Be The Glory. Sister Melody, I cannot thank you enough for reminding me how important and necessary it is to Delight in the Lord. I am ever grateful. Seeking purpose with intention in my current season is needed greatly. I am overwhelmed feeling my Breakthrough is so much further away than I could imagine. The process with waiting and remaining encouraged with patience is NOT easy right now. I know God is able and He never leaves us nor forsaken us. I am spending more quality time with God in order to remain calm and in peace daily. Amen, Please remain encouraged. God's Continued Blessings Bestowed Upon You Always. Humbly,

O em gee I’m mind blown right now ! So it’s not “he will give us the desires we want”, but it’s “he will basically GIVE, show, us the desires of our hearts” like he will change the taste buds of our hearts when we delight in Him!?

If I made a more intentional effort to delight in the Lord, my life would shift in terms of my moods. I think I would be more even tempered if I delighted more in Him. Will do.

Life is looking different for me because of surrendering to Gods will. Although I have not completely comply I still pray that His will be done. What I noticed is that my heart desires did not align with His. & He teaching me that, it hurts. But with tears in my eyes I know that His way is better than mines. God bless ladies and have a wonderful week❤.

I have always find myself trying to find happiness from worldly things even though i know that He is the only way to find true happiness. Boyfriends, movies and other things. I always thought that my happiness depends on those things when in fact it doesn’t. Although I stumble through this video by accident, I’m glad that God is telling me that He is the only way to true happiness.

Your videos come right on time as usual. As I just did my SOAP notes on this scripture this morning. I had similar viewpoints that you mentioned in the video. For me and how my life would change, when I Delight in the Lord more, would be better for my life due to less stress by being fixed in the problem. Recently, I prayed for something I didn't receive(yet). I thought I had really heard from the Lord about it. I had mixed emotions and had faith paralysis. As I started praying more, I was led to this scripture. As I broke it down, I realized that even though it says we can get the desires of our hearts, there is something we have to do before getting the desires. As I was fixated on my own desires without Trusting-Dwelling-Delighting in the Lord. I'm realizing that when I Trust-Dwell- Delight in the Lord, has helped me to know that with Him lies my desires. Even if I don't get what I recently prayed for, delighting in the Lord is way better than anything I could ever desire..

This video was so on time for me! I have been curious and wanting to know more about these exact words for years. I felt I was delighting in the Lord and then I felt like but am I supposed to expect what I deisre if I do. It seemed sort of not right. I realized I have always desired marriage and children and now at 40 years old I am sad and wondering the "when" moment. I have always allowed men in my life who never did right by me and I just kept trying. I love without reason. I have began to not focus on what I would like and just let The Lord guide me and give me peace. Its happeneing! I am happier and I talk to HIM all throughout my days! I pray it continues!!

Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m behind on everything. I feel like I’m running out time l feel like I’ve been mourning too long. There are things that just want to let go of but it seems those thing tangling in mind. So for me I feel delighting in the Lord make things more consistent, of course peace and freedom, but also power of change, I would become more fearless, less worry, confidence I’ve never possessed before and just Free

I've been at a standstill like right before launching into what God has for me. It's been uncomfortable, so to focus on delighting on the Lord vs accomplishments in my life for him will really free me to live in love without looking at results. Results are nice but having that foundation that God loves me despite what they look like vs false expectations from him resulting in "failure". Thank you so much for sharing 💕 I'm glad you're rested.

For me, my life would change throughout the interractions I might have with other people. It's easy to act like myself and let loose of all my desires, but if I began to focus on God mroe, I would be able to see the meaning behind each interraction. I would ask myself "Why did God intriduce me to this person? How should I act with this person? What does this person need to hear today?" This all comes down to just letting God move instead of me trying to gain control over every circumstance or event I have in general, sacrficing the decisions I want to make for God's way instead.

I'm going to be 20 in few weeks i hope this next chapter will be a chance for me to give myself to the Lord and i believe i will find friends from him. Amen🙏🏼🙏🏼

Delighting in the Lord would silence my mind. I think about so much and it’s never anything of value. It’s always something that hinders me in some way so I feel like if my focus was truly on him and spending time with him my thoughts would be fixated on him.
