God is my first delight. That keeps me from settling.

A Bible affirmation for waiting on love, rooted in Psalm 37:4.

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

Psalm 37:4 · BSB

Reflection

This promise isn't a vending machine. When God becomes your delight, your desires start to change shape, and you stop being so hungry you'd accept anything. Delight comes first.

A prayer

Lord, be my first delight. Shape what I want, and satisfy the lonely places in me.
