Beth Moore Simulcast

My mom and I attended the Beth Moore Simulcast back in August. It was a great event and the Lord used it to spur on my desire to delight in him.


Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4


This was the main text but she also pulled out several verses throughout this chapter. Here are some of my notes and thoughts that I have learned.


1. Nothing dictates our lives like our desires


We have to have a sustatined longing, not be swayed by our emotions from one thing to the next.


2. Beneath the desires of our hearts is the heart of our desire.


3. Delighting in God adapts our desires into inevitabilities


Grant me a heart Lord that delights in You.


4. Nothing external can steal our right to delight


What is taking a bite out of your delight, delight is your right!


Jealousy

Anger

Worry


5. To make room for delight, we've got to commit

You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.

Micah 7:18b


6. Nothing is passive about patiently waiting for desire to turn into delight.


We need to stop and listen to Him. Praise Him while waiting.


7. Till faith becomes sight trust God and do good.


Dwell in the land that God had given to us.


They feast on the abundance of your house, you give them drink from your river of delights. Psalm 36:8
