Delight Yourself

“Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 (NIV)

A true delight is knowing God’s will and doing God’s will. A true delight is having the peace of God in the midst of life’s storms. A true delight is having the assurance of heaven and eternal life.

John Piper has affirmed, “God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him.” What is your primary source of satisfaction? Where do you turn to experience joy and fulfillment? Your love relationship with the Lord is the conduit through which the blessings of God flow. He is the source of life that is truly life. He fills you with an inexpressible and glorious joy (1 Pet 1:8).

As you commune with the Lord and take delight in Him, He will give you the desires of your heart. When you are rightly related to God in Christ and you choose to seek Him with all of your heart, you will find that your desires are in line. As you delight in the Lord, you will not desire anything that is contrary to His will. Intimacy with the Lord heightens your sensitivity to God’s activity. Your delight becomes God’s agenda.

  • “Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty  and will lift up your face to God.” Job 22:26 (NIV)
  • “He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;  he hears their cry and saves them.” Psalm 145:19 (NIV)

There are countless distractions that seek to minimize your friendship with God and trivialize your daily pursuit of His Presence. Recognize that nothing will ever satisfy your soul like living in unbroken fellowship with the Lord. Take delight in Him. Feast on His Word. Solidify your pursuit by establishing a standing appointment with God.

Pursuing God,

The Difference Between Dynamic and Static Wrinkles

**The Difference Between Dynamic and Static Wrinkles and How to
Treat Them**

Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, appearing as creases in the skin. However, not all wrinkles are created
equal. There are two types: dynamic and static. Understanding the difference between them can help you choose
the right treatment approach.

### Dynamic Wrinkles

Dynamic wrinkles are those that move with your facial expressions.

They form when the muscles beneath the skin contract, creating lines visible when you frown, smile,
or purse your lips. These are located in areas like the eyes and mouth, where
muscle movement is most active.

**Causes of Dynamic Wrinkles:**
– The dermis, the skin’s lower layer, loses its elasticity.

– The muscles (like orbicularis oculi around the eyes) contract
repeatedly, leading to lines over time.

**Treatments for Dynamic Wrinkles:**
1. **Injectables**: Botox or Dysport can paralyze the muscles, preventing new lines and reducing existing ones.

2. **Surgical Options**: More permanent solutions include facial lifts or
brow lifts if injectables aren’t sufficient.

### Static Wrinkles

Static wrinkles are stationary and visible even when you’re not moving your face.

They develop from the loss of collagen and elastin in the
skin, causing lines to form around areas like the eyes and lips.

**Causes of Static Wrinkles:**
– Skin aging leads to reduced collagen production.
– Elastin fibers break down, making the skin less resilient.

**Treatments for Static Wrinkles:**
1. **Topical Products**: Retinol or peptides can stimulate collagen growth.

2. **Fillers**: Hyaluronic acid fillers plump the skin, reducing lines.

3. **Laser Treatments and Peels**: Procedures like laser resurfacing
or chemical peels can smooth the skin.

### When to See a Professional

For severe cases, consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon is recommended.
They can assess your specific needs and recommend treatments tailored to you, whether at-home
products or medical interventions.

In conclusion, dynamic and static wrinkles require different approaches
based on their nature. Understanding which type you have can guide you toward effective treatment, ensuring you maintain a youthful appearance.
Always consult with a professional for the best advice and
results.
