DELIGHT YOURSELF

Part 2

Psalm 37:4

1. In Matthew 16:24-26 Jesus calls us to deny ourselves. How is this a call to true and ultimate pleasure?

 

 

 

 

 

2. What is personal delight? How is it illustrated in Isaiah 55:1-2? How does that relate to Delighting in the Lord?

 

 

 

 

 

3. Why do we delight in the things we delight in? How does that relate to delighting in the Lord?

 

 

 

 

 

4. If we seek our pleasure in the lusts of the flesh what does that tell us about our desire for pleasure? What has God called us to?

 

 

 

 

 

5. How does the context of Psalm 37:4 help define delighting in the Lord?
