Many of us try to fulfill our duty as Christians but never even attempt the delight! "Rejoice in the Lord!" the Bible says. "Delight yourself in the Lord!"

Engaging in the duty without ever moving into the delight leaves us feeling put upon and overworked. If you do your yardwork because everyone tells you to, you will always resent it. If you do your yardwork so you can enjoy your yard, then it is part of the enjoyment.

Let's slow down and delight in the Lord so the duty does not become drudgery!
