Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4 (NIV)
Dear Jesus, some days I’m tempted to just grasp at whatever I think will make me happy, and some of those choices have been pretty goofy. Sometimes they are downright sinful. But then I remember that my ways haven’t brought me a lot of joy or the true desires of my heart.
So, may I instead delight in You as it says in Your Word. And may we find joy in doing life together—Your way. Then the desires of my heart and everything You want for me will fall into place…
Questions for Pondering…
What are some ways I can delight in the Lord?
How can that sacred attitude flow out to others?
