You may have wealth. It cannot profit long. You may have health. Decay will cause its flower to fade. You may have strength. It soon will totter to the grave. You may have honors. A breath will blast them. You may have flattering friends. They are but as a summer brook. These boasted joys often now cover an aching heart, but they never gave a grain of solid peace; they never healed a wounded conscience; they never won approving looks from God; they never crushed the sting of sin.

A Message from our Provider:

“WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.”

Benefits of delighting ourselves in God: 1. Delight in God will prove that you know Him and love Him and that you are prepared for His kingdom, for all who truly delight in Him shall enjoy Him. 2. Prosperity, which is merely the small addition of earthly things, will not easily corrupt you or transport you. 3. Adversity, that is, the withholding of earthly delights, will not much grieve you or easily deject you. 4. You will receive more profit from a sermon or good book or conversation you delight in, than other people, who don’t delight in them, will receive from many such opportunities. 5. All your service will be sweet to yourself and acceptable to God; if you delight in Him, He certainly delights in you (Psalm 149:4; 147:11; 1 Chronicles 29:17). 6. He will have a continual feast with you, to sweeten all the crosses of your life and provide you with joy greater than your sorrow in your saddest condition. 7. When you delight in God, your created pleasures will be sanctified to you and warranted in their proper place, which in other people are idolatrous or corrupt.

Richard Baxter
