Delight-full

Isaiah 65:17-19 Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more.”

What an amazing and important command this is to obey. We are to behold and to rejoice in what God is up to today and every day. According to this text, God wants us to see three things with the eye of faith. (1) We are made to inhabit a new world of delight, (2) to be a people of delight and (3) to be enjoyed by the God of all delight. How delight-full it is to belong to Jesus!

“Dear Lord, help us not to be limited today by the cataracts and myopia of the natural eye of unbelief. Open the eyes of our hearts to see the firstfruits of the new creation world which have already arrived in the person and work of your beloved Son, Jesus. May your joy be our strength this day as we long for the Day of utter delight, and live as a people who are already thoroughly known, loved and enjoyed by you. Because the gospel is true, help us to love courageously and with hope in the broken places you have placed us. Amen”
