We sometimes see our relationship with God as perpetual work and hardship, but that is not God’s plan for us. We are meant to enjoy God. We are meant to delight in Him. If we see spending time with God or working with God as a chore, we are just going to try to avoid it.
When we avoid God, we try to make our own delights. Many stories in the Bible show us that trying to create our own pleasures only leads to destruction. Recall the story of the prodigal son who chose to leave the covering of his father (Luke 15:11-32). In the short term, he lived a fast-paced, expensive life. He made “friends” and lived well. But eventually, his delights ceased. He was sent to feed pigs, and no one gave him anything to eat. When we decide to author our own delights, we end up in the trenches with no evidence of our pleasures in sight.
Not only does this verse show that delight is found in the Lord, but it also gives us a promise – we will receive the very desires of our hearts. When we truly rejoice or delight in the eternal things of God, our desires will begin to parallel His, and we will never go unfulfilled.

Dear Heavenly Father, I want to take joy and delight in being in your presence. The joys of this world are so fleeting, so remind me that my only true delight is in You. Reignite my passion for You. You know the desires of my heart, but I pray today that they are aligned with Your desires for me. 
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
