Get excited about God

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desire of thine heart (psalm 37:4).

   When the Bible says you should “delight yourself in the Lord”, that’s another way of saying “Get excited about God!” To be “excited” means “to be stirred by strong emotion;” that means when you think about God, you’re stirred in your heart. It means that you think about him fondly and want to do anything to please God and be in His presence. He said “I was glad when they said unto me; let us go into the house of the Lord” (Psalm 122:1)! He was so excited about God that God called him the “…man after mine own heart” (Acts 13:22).

   The Bible says “then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father…” (Isaiah 58:14). Did you see that? People who are excited about God will always have the supernatural happening in their lives; God personally causes them to live above the system of the world! Everyday for them is glorious and colourful. But those who are not excited about Him (thought they are saved) have a dull experience of life.

   When you delight yourself in the Lord, the Bible says “…He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” In other words, when you’re excited about God and delight yourself in him, you wouldn’t need to pray for anything for yourself! While the desire is yet in your heart, God will give it to you! Your prayer life will become one of intercession for others and continuous worship. Get excited about God and all that’s important to Him, and experience an overflow of the miraculous!
