Today’s scripture comes from Psalm 37:4 and reads:
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart”.
So what does this mean to you? How can you apply this scripture to your life? Well let’s break it down word for word. To delight means to take great pleasure or joy. So essentially the scripture is saying take great pleasure in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
When was the last time you sat and had a conversation with God about what the desires of your heart are? Do you know what in life will give you outstanding joy and happiness? Does your joy derive from wealth, success or a family that loves you? Think about the God we serve. He wants the best for us in everything we do, in exchange for a personal relationship with him – that’s it! God will indeed provide us with the desires of our heart; but in order for him to do this we have to ask for it!
For example, children rely on their parents to fulfill their needs and provide for them. A baby may not be able to tell you exactly what they want, but eventually you will learn the habits and ways the baby communicates until you figure out the need. We have the ability to totally communicate our inner most thoughts, desires and needs to the Lord. But the first step is to speak to the Lord and let him know what we need from him.
I pray that God will be with you along your journey as you go about walking in delighting yourself in outstanding joy and happiness! I also pray that God will give you the words to say and a sound heart and mind to hear his voice with clarity. Walk in the Love and Light of what the Lord has for you today! Amen
