the details

I can honestly say that I do not think I have ever met a child as passionate about life as our little P.J. is. When she is a part of something no matter what it is she is electric. It's passionate, it's wide open and it's fun. We recently took her skiing and while on that trip she commanded the slopes from the easy bunny slopes to the black diamonds she did not care, she was wide open all the way to the bottom each time. I will confess I don't like skiing all that much, it just isn't that much fun to me after I go down a mountain a few times I am ready to go relax, it's just that simple. But, this past year I enjoyed skiing more than ever as I watched P.J. and Alexa take off, and P.J. is so much fun to watch I actually crashed a few times myself because people were stopping and watching her go by. When I could actually talk her into going inside for a short break it was filled with her telling anyone and everyone who would listen all the details of how much fun she had and it was told through a smile and huge big blue eyes lit up with enthusiasm. She delighted in every detail of her day.
I find myself delighting in about 90% of my children's lives, there are those rough times and bumps in the road when they misbehave and we have to get onto them, but the rest of the time is filled with delight. What about God? How much of our lives does He delight in?
Psalm 37:23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives."
THere you have it, when you are living the life of a godly person God is delighting in every detail of your life. God has embedded in your life a desire, and those desires are what drive you and fuel you. God gave you those desires so that you can become exactly the person He designed you to be, and when you seek HIm and seek His will on a daily basis, just as the verse above tells us, he "delights in every detail" of your life.
So make God proud, allow Him to embed desires in your heart and then delight in you as you follow His will on a daily basis.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
