Psalms 37:1-4 (NIV)
1 Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
There is quite a difference between what results from trust and that which is promised to come by delighting in the Lord. Trust to me implies belief and commitment which brings safety and peace. But delight implies a whole hearted, passionate enjoyment of the life made possible by following Jesus. This moves us beyond mere existence to the fulfillment of the desires of our hearts. Chief among those is our universal need for a relationship with God. From there we are then able to fully express our individuality. Delighting in the Lord brings delight. That is the way it is with Him.
