Calm Delight
One of the definitions of joy is calm
delight. When I think of calm delight I sense a peace and quietness within,
satisfied in Christ. Now you think about it for a moment; where do your
Spiritual senses take you?
It is like a warm blanket, a comforter, wrapped
around your shoulders, knowing the warmth and comfort that it gives; it
delights you and causes a satisfaction, a smile within and without. A
coziness that you don’t want to let go of, but you desire to remain in. It
is tranquil knowing that my delight is in the Lord and His delight is
within me.
We have been given a Comforter in Christ,
the love of God which delights the inward man, and causes a satisfaction, a
smile within which lights up the eyes of the soul; and when you smile at
others they are able to see the calm delight within you, Christ our Lord.
Many may not recognize what the light truly is which delights you, but they
are drawn to it whether or not they acknowledge it. They don’t know where
it comes from or where it goes but yet their soul desires it, even if for
but a moment, because it truly delights and comforts their soul. Oh, if
only they would remain there.
2 Corinthians 4:4-6 In whom the god of
this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine
unto them. (5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and
ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. (6) For God, who commanded the
light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the
light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (KJV)
Let your calm delight in Christ shine
more and more unto the perfect day, giving the light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, so that those who you come in
contact with can be comforted with the same comfort you have been given in
Him; and maybe, just maybe, one more might seek to remain in the Lord’s
comfort and be delighted in Him, and in this all creation sings with joy.
Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise
joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over
ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. (KJV)
Isaiah 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy,
and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth
before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their
hands. (KJV)
The only calm delight that can be
experienced is in knowing the Lord and His righteousness. Pay it forward;
don’t hide it under a bushel; share it with others today.
Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless thee, and
keep thee: (25) The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious
unto thee: (26) The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace. (KJV)
