'Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.'
Ps. 37:4
So this is by far one of my favorite verse. But I feel like a lot of times this is manipulated to our "own" translation. No where in that verse does it say "Naomi Fowler's heart desire is to be 5'2." As much as I would like it to translate to that, not so much. Maybe in heaven.
But it says first DELIGHT your self in the Lord. Meaning hang out with Him, spend time in the secret of secret places, growing intimacy with Him. If we are truly living a life yearning for the Lord. Putting Him on the front burner for EVERYTHING we would start to be very close to Him. Well generally when you get extremely close to someone, and start spending long periods of time with them you start to become like them. Yes, how cool is that? We can become like Jesus if we take the time. So if we start to be like Jesus sooner or later we will start to think like Jesus. Starting to follow me here a little bit?
If we start to think like Jesus we will start wanting the same things Jesus wanted. So then our hearts desires will become in unity to the Lords desires. Our deepest desires, are the same of the Lord's. No this verse isn't a fortune cookie, its not a fun little verse. It is deep and rich in
wisdom.
So today bask in the secret place with the holy of holy's. Grow in intimacy with him so you can truly become a reflection of Jesus an arrow pointing start up. Only then will you desire the things the Lord MADE you to desire. Only then will you be truly satisfied.
Loving through His love,
-Naomi-June
