(Psa. 37:4)
The joy, which we receive at new birth. And which multiplies as we live in the Lord’s presence. Becomes stronger when we find our delight in the Lord and entirely forget our other desires, whether for eating or drinking, for friends or promotion or name, to even for expert bible-knowledge. If we delight ourselves in the Lord, how much more will be given us in the joy of the Lord than these things can ever bring!
Is not our Lord the chiefest, the fairest among all people? And His glory does not fade. Let us then desire to see His glory more and more. Not what He gives us but what He himself is; not because He heals our bodies or answers our prayers, but because we have glimpsed the glory of His lovely face; that is what fills our hearts with joy.
