Da Light is Delight

Deuteronomy 30:10
“The Lord your God will delight in you if you obey His voice and keep the commands and laws written in this Book of Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.

“The Lord your God” = will delight in you when you are found humbled in between God’s majesty and mastership.

God’s delight in you is conditional on obedience AND repentance. Obedience alone is legalism and can be skin deep. Repentance is in the heart and soul. Can’t get much deeper than that! In fact, it is so deep that it is undetectable to others unless shown in actions. Now we are back to obedience.

“God[‘s]…delight in you” = could also be read as “God is the da light in you.”
If He isn’t, you may be guilty of legalism (if the light IS you). If there isn’t much of a light at all, then maybe you’re missing in action (obedience). Also, He should be the only sign of life in your life since you died in Christ. Be a living sacrifice, show God and not you. If God does not out-shine you, then God is not your God.
