Sacred delight is good news coming through the back door of your heart. It's what you'd always dreamed but never expected. It's the too-good-to-be true coming true. It's having God as your lawyer, your dad, your biggest fan, and your best friend. God is on your side, in your heart, out in front, and protecting your back. It's hope where you least expected it: a flower in life's sidewalk.
It is sacred because, it can't be stolen. And since it is delightful, it can't be predicted.
It was this gladness that danced through the Red Sea. It was this joy that blew the trumpet at Jericho. It was the secret that made Mary sing. It is this sacred delight that Jesus promises in the Sermon on the Mount.
Nine times he promises it. And he promises it to an unlikely crowd. The poor in spirit...Those who mourn...The meek...Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness...The merciful...The pure in heart...The peacemakers...The persecuted for His sake..."
It is to this band of pilgrims that God promises a special Blessing. it is a heavenly joy and a sacred delight.
