Learning How To Love God His Way (Learning God’s Language of Love)

1. The Command to love God Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

3. The Characteristics of true love for God. To love God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength is to commit myself to: 1. be totally loyal to God and obey Him in everything 2. to delight in Him 3. to desire continually to please Him 4. to rejoice in serving Him 5. to seek my happiness in Him 6. to thirst day and night for a fuller enjoyment of Him.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Psalm 37:4: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. As we think about delighting in God, we want to learn: 1. The relationship between love and delight. 2. How to delight ourselves in the Lord

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. 1. The Relationship between love and delight. Proverbs 3:12 – equates love to delighting: “For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.”

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Notice the parallel between loving and delighting For whomthe LORDlovethhe correcteth the son in whom Even as a Father delighteth

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Parallelism in these verses makes it clear that loving and delighting are interrelated. To say a father loves his son is another way of saying that he delights in him.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Psalm 119:47: “I will delight myself in Your commandments which I love.”. When we realize that love involves delight, Psalm 37:4 takes on new significance.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Psalm 37:4: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. The word translated “delight” in this verse means “to take exquisite delight in” or “to take one’s pleasure in.”

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Isaiah 55:2 "Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And delight yourself in abundance. Do you know what it is to delight in your favorite food? This illustrates the kind of delight that love for God involves.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. 1.The Relationship between love and delight. To love God is to find great delight in Him. 2.How to delight ourselves in the LORD. Psalm 37:4: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. The focus of our delight = “in the LORD”

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. LORD – two concepts: He enters into personal relationships with people. He will always do what He has said He will do.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. LORD – When we delight ourselves in the Lord, we are finding pleasure in the One who enters into personal relationship with us and will always keeps His covenants (promises). How strong is your desire for God? Are there any “mud pies” you’ve been hanging onto rather than seeking your pleasure in God?

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Delight in God results from reflecting on: 1.Who God is for us. 2.What God does for us. 3.What God reveals to us.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. 1. Delight in who God is for us: Psalm 18: (turn in your Bible) v1: I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. v2: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. 1. Delight in who God is for us: What created David’s delight? His delight grew out of meditating on his experiences with God – all that God had been for him. As you think about your experiences with God, what aspects of who God is give you delight? (e.g., He is our Father, Shepherd, Intercessor, Protector, etc.)

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. 2. Delight in what God does for us : v6. In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears..… v19 He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me. v20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. 2. Delight in what God does for us : V6. It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. And the list keeps going on and on. That is just a sampling from Psalm 18 of David’s delight in God’s works.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. 2. Delight in what God does for us: In addition to what God does for us personally, we can delight in Him through His works in nature because they tell us about Him.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. 1. Delight in who God is for us. 2. Delight in what God does for us. 3. Delight in what God reveals to us in His Word. v30 “As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.” “Tried” = the faithfulness and blamelessness of the LORD.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. What benefits has God’s word brought to your life that delight you? As you read God’s word, what do you delight in? How does your delight in the word reflect delight in the Lord who gave you His word?

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. We delight ourselves in the LORD by thinking about and talking about: 1.Who God is for us. 2.What God does for us. 3.What God reveals to us in His creation & His Word.

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. When we delight in someone, we find pleasure in things they do. Psalm 112:2 - “Great are the works of the LORD; they are studied by all who delight in them.”

Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Could it be that the things in our lives that give us more delight than we derive from God, easily end up usurping the role God wishes to play in our lives? Could those things become the things John warns us about when he warms us not to allow any “idols” in our lives? (1 John 5:21). “My little children, keep yourself from idols.”

Learning How To Love God His Way Element 1: To commit myself to be totally loyal to God and obey Him in everything. Element 2: To commit myself to delight in God. Next time Element 3: To commit myself to do desire continually to please Him.
