Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
So many times we think this scripture is a get what you want from God.
What David is actually saying is, as you delight your self in the Lord, the more you become like Him. His desires become our desires.
We will enjoy Him more and pleasing Him becomes part of our desires. We want what He wants.
He changes our wants and desires as we delight in Him.
Delighting in the Lord is spending time in His presence, when we do this we long to do His plan and fulfill His purpose.
So many people use this scripture for just monetary things but when you dig deeper and you draw closer you realize stuff just doesn’t matter.
As I have grown in the Lord I have learned that God is so much more than we think. His love is unconditional and never fails.
His presence changes everything.
Today I encourage you to delight in Him. Today dig deeper. Go past the fleshly wants and desires. Press into the eternal.
