As I was driving to work the other day the Brandon Heath song, "The Light In Me" came on the radio. I began singing along and then suddenly, as if a voice was whispering in my heart, every time I sang the words of the song,"The Light"... what I heard in my spirit sounded like ..."De Light"... so I sang along with these new lyrics ... "You put De Light in me"... "You put DeLight in me"... then suddenly ... an "ah-ha" God-moment ..."YOU put DELIGHT in me!"
What a joy! What a revelation! God himself put DELIGHT in me...I have always loved the Scripture Psalm 37:4…“Delight yourself in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
Here on my blog, in October 2010, I wrote a blog post about it ... Delight yourself in the Lord
Whenever I hear that song or read that Scripture, I am reminded of that moment, the "ah-ha" awareness of His Presence in my car with me as I drove to work and sang and listened to Him speak.
It is not me who has to "work up" delight in the Lord, HE has already put DELIGHT in me :)
Here's the YouTube video of Brandon Heath singing "The Light In Me" with a really cool visual movie playing in the background....with a surprise ending...be sure to watch til the end :)
That is so cool! I love those moments where you know God is speaking to you!
