Delight In God. 

"Delight yourself in the Lord--and He will give you the desires of your heart!" Psalm 37:4

Sin has taken our attention off of God--and fixed it upon ourselves, and the things around us.
Grace calls our attention off of everything else--to fix it upon God. It directs us to . . .
  look to the Lord,
  come to the Lord,
  trust in the Lord,
  wait on the Lord,
  hope in the Lord, and
  even delight in the Lord.

"Delight yourself in the Lord." Take delight--not in health, or wealth, or position, or friends, or in anything that is changeable--but in the unchangeable Lord. 

Delight yourself in His glorious character--as gracious, merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. 

Delight yourself in Him, as . . .
  the father of the fatherless,
  the friend of the friendless,
  the hope of the wretched,
  and the Savior of the lost.

Delight yourself in His gracious covenant, which . . .
  anticipates your needs,
  provides for your needs,
  limits your trials, and
  provides strength for the day, as every day's work requires.

Delight yourself in His paternal relation. He is not only your God--but your Father! 
  He cares for you, with a father's care!
  He loves you, with a father's love!
  He pities you, with a father's pity!
  He will receive you to Heaven, as to your father's house!

Delight yourself in His precious promises. They are but drops from His ocean of love! They are intended to . . .
  show His love,
  display His grace,
  manifest His care,
  draw out your confidence,
  banish your fear, and
  assure you of all necessary supplies.

Delight yourself in his special providence. A providence that . . .
  marks your steps,
  directs your paths,
  measures your troubles,
  bounds the rage of your enemies,
  numbers the very hairs of your head, and
  makes all things work together for your good!

God in His providence, superintends all your affairs, even the most minute--so that nothing can happen to you by 'chance', or inadvertently do you harm!

Delight in creatures--only produces disappointment, dissatisfaction, and discomfort.
Delight in God--ensures satisfaction, comfort, and certainty. 

To delight in God, is only to prefer . . .
  the ever-flowing fountain--to the shallow stream;
  the glorious sun--to the dim candle!

This is a Grace Gem I got a couple days ago.

It's November now and therefore time for me to start my Christmas making list.  It seems my list gets bigger every year and my amount of money gets smaller every year.  Even though I enjoy hand making my gifts, it still takes money to buy the supplies.  And that's where parents step in.  : ) I've gotten a lot of fun ideas from different websites, so I think I'll be making a large portion of presents for friends and family.   I am very ecstatic about the fourth and final Inheritance book that came out last Tuesday.  I started the series about two years ago and they are one of my all time favorite book series.  I've been waiting two years for the last book to come out and the wait felt so long!!  Here's what the book covers look like. I own all of them of course. : ) 

The first one was written by the author when he was only 15!  And he was home-schooled. : ) 
Since I'm talking about books here's what I'm currently reading:

The last three are for school.  Looks like everyones out side but me so I'll log off now and go down to the pond and bogs for a sketching session.
