Delight in the LORD is a sermon by Rowland Wheatley focusing on the significance of finding joy in God and the proper observance of the Sabbath as a means to cultivate this delight. Wheatley emphasizes that mere external compliance with religious duties does not equate to true worship, as seen in Isaiah 58:13-14, where the prophet calls the people to honor God's holy day. He discusses the necessity of delighting in God himself, rather than merely in the blessings He bestows, illustrating this with references from Scripture, such as Psalm 37 and the importance of community worship. Wheatley articulates that delighting in the Lord leads to spiritual elevation and blessings, explaining this shift of focus as essential for genuine Christian living.
“We can do right things, but not actually be delighting in those things.”
“It's a real test of where our heart really is.”
“Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord.”
“One of the greatest blessings a poor sinner can have is to be lifted up above this poor dying world.”
The Bible emphasizes delighting in the Lord as a fundamental act of faith, as seen in Isaiah 58:14.
