Delighting in God

by John Howe

A rich exposition of Psalm 37:4, exploring what it means to delight in God as the foundation of all true religion. Part I examines the nature of God as the supreme object of delight — His perfections, sufficiency, and relational goodness — establishing why He alone satisfies the soul. Part II turns to practical godliness, showing how this delight transforms worship, obedience, and daily life. Howe argues that genuine religion is not cold formality but a living, joyful communion with God that reshapes the heart's deepest desires.
