Delight in the LORD - so vital that we do so.

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight,..... Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. (Isaiah 58:13-14) ~~~~ This sermon was preached at Colnbrook Baptist Chapel. ~~~~ *1/ The preparation for delight in the LORD - delighting in his holy day. 2/ Delight in the LORD - Then shalt thou ...... 3/ The additional blessing following - and I will cause....* **Sermon summary:** The sermon centers on the biblical call to genuine delight in the Lord, rooted in the proper observance of the Sabbath as a holy day set apart for worship and communion with God. It emphasizes that true worship is not merely outward ritual or duty, but a heartfelt orientation toward God Himself—finding joy in His presence, His character, His works, and His promises—rather than in personal gain or religious performance. The preacher underscores the importance of the Lord's Day as a divine institution, a weekly reminder of creation and redemption, and a vital opportunity to gather in fellowship, meditate on Scripture, and cultivate a personal relationship with Christ. This spiritual delight, cultivated through disciplined devotion and corporate worship, leads to deeper intimacy with God and the promise of future blessings, including spiritual elevation and inheritance in Christ, as the believer's hope is fixed on heavenly realities. Ultimately, the message calls for a transformed heart that seeks God not for what He can give, but for who He is.
