Desires of Your Heart (Psalm 37:4) (1/15/2013)

Psalm 37:4 (ESV)
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Throughout this week, unknowingly up until this point, I've learned what Psalm 37:4 really means.

Thinking about my experiences and the lives of others, there are times when I have my own desires and wants. And there are other times when new desires are sparked by the things I go through, or by a word from the Holy Spirit (directly or through someone else).

The tail end of the scripture (and he will give you the desires of your heart.) does not mean that God will give me everything I think I want and need. Instead, He will place His desires for me in my heart and mind...that I may pursue them and obtain His promises for me...by acting in faith, trusting what He said CAN and WILL manifest...and that I'll actually have joy doing so!
