As I saw this repeated a number of times in my reading today. In this chapter, Nephi describes a number of things that his soul delights in. It made me ask myself "What does MY soul delight in?"
I think one of the biggest things that my soul delights in is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and all that is associated with that. There is so much there that I can't describe it all, but some of the things about having the Gospel in my life that I would say have changed my life are things like a real knowledge that I am a son of God. That same being that created the universe, who is all powerful, and all knowing. He listens to me when I talk to Him, and He cares about me. That in itself is incredible to me. Not to mention Him sending a Savior for me, knowing that I would screw up sometimes. And Jesus, willing to go through all that for me. Amazing!
The other really big thing is my family. I don't know where I'd be without my family. I would not be anywhere near the same person without them. I love them so much, and that ties into my gratitude for the Gospel because I know that because of the Atonement, I can live with my family forever.
There are a lot of things that make me happy, but what my soul delights in is a different story. I'll have to think even more about that, and make sure I am delighting in the right things and can express to my Father in Heaven my gratitude for giving me so much.
