“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.” Psalm 37:4-5 (ESV)
There are many blessings to be found when we turn our eyes and our ears and our hearts toward what God wants for us. God loves us and promises the best for us. He wants us to enjoy our lives today, tomorrow and every day we will live. Our verses have some words that give us a clue to how God wants us to live and they all bring a blessings. We are looking today at two of the words. If we delight ourselves in the Lord – if we find great value in trusting God – He will give us the desires of our heart. This is not a promise that He will give us everything we want or everything we long to have. Instead it means our delight in serving God is the source of the desires God wants us to have in our heart. When our heart's desires spring from the Lord, He will surely fulfill those desires. It is because we choose to commit our way to the Lord and trust Him that we see God acting on our behalf in our lives. We will desire what He desires us to desire and we will delight and commit ourselves to Him in trust and He will make our desires happen.
