This verse gives us commands and a benefit. We are to trust, do good, dwell, befriend and delight. I think too often we want to jump to the desires of our heart. I think we miss the point of the verse. God doesn’t just give us what we want. We are to delight in Him. If our minds are focused on God, we will have appropriate desires. I have often thought God wants more for us than we want for ourselves. I wonder how much more we would gain if we delight in the Lord.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to follow the commands You have given. Thank You for being trustworthy and the best example of good. Thank You for being delightful.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
