Devotional
Yesterday we began to say that one of the guaranteed things we must do to have God swiftly attend to our prayers and give us the desires of our hearts is to delight ourselves in the Lord (Psalm 37:4). We also said that having access to the desires of our heart and taking delivery of them is a function of an unwavering delight in the Lord. Today, we shall be looking at the necessity of delighting ourselves in the Lord.
Key Scripture
Then you shall take delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.Isaiah 58:14 ESV
Refreshing for the Day
Beloved, God does not give us ‘just any’ desire of our heart; He gives us the desires of our heart that’s conforming to His Will in our lives. The reason people struggle in life is owed to the fact that they’re yet to delight themselves in the Lord. We breathe wrong desires; and God will never give us the wrong desires of our hearts. So, while we want God to give us our heart’s desires, God first wants to form His desires in our hearts to soothe His plans for us, and to bring out the best in us.
We should also note that, what we delight in is what forms our desires. Then the big question is, what are you delighting in? Stay Lifted!
Note This
God does not give us ‘just any’ desire of our heart; He gives us the desires of our heart that’s conforming to His Will in our lives.
