Sports? Cooking? Work? In What Does Your Soul Delight

How would you answer the question, “What brings you deep pleasure?” Or, who brings you deep pleasure? How would you fill in the blank? My soul delights in _________________. Did you say sports, music, family, friends, work, cooking, reading, or perhaps traveling?

It brings us to the next question. What brings our Heavenly Father deep pleasure? We find the answer in Isaiah 42:1.

“’Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen One in whom My soul delights.’”

God’s soul delights in Jesus, His Chosen One.

It causes me to wonder if our souls might experience more delight if we focused on Jesus, God’s Chosen One.

Rather than go through each day expecting “just another day,” we can open our eyes to all we have in Jesus: peace with our Heavenly Father, an inheritance awaiting us in heaven, daily provision, the presence of the Holy Spirit, someone who loves and cares for us.

Use today to focus your soul – mind, emotions, and will – on Jesus, God’s chosen One. Experience pleasure you might otherwise miss.

Jesus, God’s CHOSEN ONE, in whom the Heavenly Father’s soul delights, we love You. Thank you for the joy and peace You give us each day. Help us be more mindful of how our soul can delight in You regardless of our circumstances.
