What do you delight in?

There are many people that say that they "know" God and are His children,
and yet have no understanding of what He wants from them or what He wants
them to do. For many, the glory of accomplishment comes from wisdom, might,
and riches. Understanding God, His lovingkindness, judgement, and
righteousness is far more important than any earthly accomplishment. In
understanding God's attributes, our lives should be changed. It says in
*Jeremiah 9:23 Thus says the Lord:“Let not the wise man glory in his
wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man
glory in his riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he
understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness,
judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the
Lord.* The end question is, what do you delight in, the things of the world
or the things of God? All of this world is going to pass away, what then?
What will you have left to sustain you? May our main desire, our most
important glory, be to understand and know God Almighty!
