God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
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.

This recipe came with my great-great Grandmother when she left Germany to
settle in Nebraska. The women in my family have been making these for
generations.
Peel the cucumber and drag a fork down them lengthwise, creating a fluted
edge when sliced. Slice these extremely thinly. Place in a bowl and cover
with table salt. Place a tray of ice cubes into the bowl and toss well with
your hands. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let the ice cubes melt.
With your hands, squeeze the cucumbers to remove the water and place them
into a separate bowl. Dice the onions finely and stir them into the
cucumbers. Stir in the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar. Play with the sauce
ingredients until you reach a taste that you like.
*We serve this as a side dish in our family's favorite meal, "The Nebraska
Supper"...fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn on the cob.
