Please read Psalm 37.
Meditate on verse 4.
Delight yourself in the LORD,
and He will give you the desire of your heart.
A mother
shared about her baby who would light up with joy anytime she or her husband
came into the child’s presence. As soon as the baby’s mama or daddy was in the
room, the baby would no longer look at toys but would only have eyes for his
parents. He delighted being in the presence of his parents.
Do you
delight being in the presence of God? Do you stop whatever you are doing to
spend time with Him? Do your eyes light up with joy as you notice Him in His
Word and through His creation around you?
As you
delight yourself in the LORD, as you enjoy Him, your heart’s desires will
become His desires. God will give you the desires of your heart because you
will desire to do and be what pleases Him. Then as you commit your way to the
LORD, He will establish your steps and delight in your way (Psalm 37:5, 23).
Pray Psalm
37:4-6 and 23 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful,
prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, as
_________ and I delight in You,
please
give us the desires of our hearts.
We commit
our way to You;
we also
trust You, and know You will do it.
Bring forth
our righteousness as the light
and our
judgment as the noonday.
LORD,
establish our steps and delight in our way.
In Your
name, Jesus~”
