“Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 (NASB)
We have two wonderful promises given to us in this verse. We usually think of prayer as being the way to get what we want from God. But this verse doesn't mention prayer. Yet, it gives us the promise that God responds to our desires without our expressing them if our attitude to Him is right and if are focused on happily pleasing the Lord. So, to what kind of desires does the Lord respond? This is the second promise we find here, for God will give us the very desires we should have in our heart. We will learn to desire what delights us in the Lord, and what delights the Lord as well. Where do our desires come from? If we are thrilled about God and what He has done, we will find our heart's desires have actually come to to us from the Lord. And as we enjoy our life in the Lord, those desires are fulfilled for us by Him. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord and that includes what we desire. Today, let's find the thrill of living in the Lord and enjoy the fulfillment of the desires He has given us.
