  Isaiah 58:14  Then will you delight yourself in the Lord, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage [promised for you] of Jacob your father; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.   When we delight in the Lord, the reward will be to ride on the high places of the earth and be feed with the heritage of Jacob.  So what does mean?  Amos 4:13 says that God treads the high places of earth.  High places in the bible were places of...

  1 Chronicles 28:9-10 AMP 9 “As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father [have personal knowledge of Him, be acquainted with, and understand Him; appreciate, heed, and cherish Him] and serve Him with a blameless heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and minds, and understands every intent and inclination of the thoughts.

Proverbs 3:11-12 AMP My son, do not reject or take lightly the discipline of the Lord, (learn from your mistakes and the testing that comes from His correction through discipline); Nor despise His rebuke, for those whom the Lord loves, He corrects, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.   One of the reward of delighting in the Lord is receiving His correction.  Let's get something straight from the beginning of this-God never uses punishment to correct us.  Jesus already took all the punishment God had to dish out.  However, your actions can lead you into...

  John 15:10-11 AMP 10 If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. 11 I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.   When you delight yourself in the Lord, you remain in His love.  As a result, you become joyful.  Joy is the Greek word chara, meaning joy, gladness, a source of joy.  It is from chairo: cheerfulness, calm delight, gladness. When you study biblical joy, you find most scholars...
