God Commanded Us To Enjoy The GREATEST PLEASURE!

"Delight yourself in the LORD..." (Ps. 37:4.)

God's Word wants us to be happy! That's why we are even commanded to have the kind of joy that is unspeakable -- not just the fleeting and false kind of joy.

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" (Phil. 4:4.)-- is not just a suggestion.

But we are indeed like a child who is told to play and build sand castle in the beach, but we prefer to play and make mud pies in the mud!

Yes, the greatest commandment, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind..." (Luke 10:27) is meant to point us on how we can experience the greatest enjoyment. "Rejoice IN THE LORD ALWAYS..." Rejoice in Him with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind!

Did He give you the faith you can have all your desires in your heart be realized in Him?

Did He give you His Spirit, so you can obey the greatest commandment and thus enjoy the everlasting pleasure?

If you do, then, you are one of those who are "filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy" (1 Peter 1:8)!!
