INTRODUCTION

“Delight yourself in the Lord,

and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

Psalm 37:4

Don’t you just love the promises God gives us in the Scriptures?

Search for me, and you’ll find me. (Jeremiah 29:13)

I’m enough to provide you with everything you need. (2 Peter 1:3)

Commit everything to me and you’ll be a success. (Proverbs 16:3)

The promises of God form the very foundation of our faith; they say to us that, no matter what we experience, our Father is there for us, preparing a solution, or at least a way out. Although there are times in life when this is more difficult to believe than at other times, the promises are still ours. He’ll never let us down.

It is this knowledge that inspired us to write Delight Yourself in the Lord… even on bad hair days. The title is particularly apropos, since one of our own is going through chemotherapy treatments at the moment. Want to talk about a bad hair day?

But even in the worst of our bad hair days, when the roof is leaking, as we receive a terrifying diagnosis, or while the checking account is bouncing like a rubber ball… we know one thing for certain: Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Throughout this book, it is our goal to remind our readers that joy and hope in the Lord is the opening line to every story of redemption, provision or happily-ever-after.

With love and encouragement

from a group of women who could curl your hair

with stories of bad hair days!
