Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
The desires of your heart.
How many times do we hear people talk about God giving us the desires of our heart? It’s safe to say that we hear it a lot! After all, who doesn’t want this? If we’re honest, we will all admit that we want God to give us the desires of our heart.
And God has told us that He will do this. So why does it seem that sometimes we get them and sometimes we don’t? And why do some people seem to have it happen more often than others?
The key to unlock that “secret” is in the first part of the verse shown above; “Delight yourself also in the Lord”.
You see, if we are delighting ourselves in Him, then the desires of our hearts will slowly change and shift. And what we desire will no longer be based solely on our wants. But, instead, we will now have more godly desires, revolving around His will and not ours.
This doesn’t mean that we will never get something that we want. It just means that many of the things that we want will no longer be the same as they once were.
Delight yourself in the Lord!
