Get Ecstatic! – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional June 6th

(The Lord Can Give You Such Joy And Delight)

TO THE BIBLE: Luke 10:41-42
“And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.””

LET’S TALK
The Bible tells us in Luke 10 how, on a certain day, Jesus visited Mary and Martha in their home. While Mary, with great excitement, sat at the feet of the Master to hear His words, Martha, the elder sister, hurried to the kitchen to fix something for Jesus to eat.

Upset that her younger sister didn’t come to help her, Martha complained to the Master and said, “…Master, don’t you care that my sister has abandoned the kitchen to me? Tell her to lend me a hand” (Luke 10:40 MSG).

Mincing no words, Jesus chided Martha and commended Mary for choosing the more excellent path. Mary delighted herself in the Lord and His words, and this was pleasing to the Master.

Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

How do you delight yourself in the Lord? It’s by getting excited and ecstatic about Him! Getting excited about His Word, and seizing every opportunity to learn from Him and have fellowship with Him!

Those who are often excited about the Lord this way always have supernatural things happening in their lives; they always have testimonies of victories, successes, and blessings.

Note the construction of the verse we just read again. It says, “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you….”

In other words, without praying, the good things you desire will automatically be made available to you because you’ve delighted yourself in the Lord. You’ll never have to ask for anything for yourself. He’ll grant it before you ask Him.

Isn’t this wonderful? Therefore, be excited and exuberant in your service to Him and in your fellowship with Him.

Pray:
Blessed heavenly Father, I’m so grateful to know that you delight in me and made me for your pleasure. I give pleasure to you today by walking in your perfect will, guided by your wisdom. Thank you for giving me all things richly to enjoy, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
