I'd Rather Have Jesus

Psalm 37:4,5  Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

The believer’s true source of happiness rises above circumstances and situations of life when we delight ourselves In the Lord.

Instead of worrying and fretting, we should learn to cast our burdens on Jesus and trust Him to take care of them in His way and His time. Faith in God pays the greatest dividends. That’s why I delight in the Lord. Some people love this wicked world and all it offers, but I'd rather have Jesus.

I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold; I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands, I’d rather be led by His nail pierced hand.

Than to be a king of a vast domain or be held in sin’s dread sway,
I’d rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today.
