Scripture focus:

Psalm 37:4 — “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
Mark 12:38–40 — Jesus warns against the hypocrisy of those who appear godly but act for show.

Reflection:
Since last Saturday, Psalm 37:4 has been echoing in my heart and mind. God is reminding me that to truly delight in Him is what He desires. When I delight in Him and commit my ways to Him, there is no room for hypocrisy or dishonesty — my heart will naturally want to please Him.

Tonight, as I read Mark 12:38–40, I see again how Jesus was displeased with those who only appeared to walk with Him. It’s a reminder that genuine delight in God is not just about outward acts, but about the posture of my heart.

Prayer:
Lord, help me to delight in You with all my heart. Teach me to commit my ways to You fully, not in pretense, but in truth and love. Only through Your Spirit can I live in a way that pleases You.
