Thought 239
The Desires of Your
Heart
“Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give
thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4 KJV
I do not believe that this Scripture is
referring to your lusts and fleshly passions when it talks about the desires of
your heart. If that it what it meant, God would be condoning sin! However, God does place desires in your heart
for a reason. One that has really been on my heart for years is a wife: even a
little boy I’ve looked forward to getting married and having a family. I don’t
see God moving in this area, yet He is working. HE placed that desire in my
heart for a reason, and God is never slow about carrying out His promises. As I
continue to delight myself in the Lord, spend time in His presence and share
His Word, I am sure that His perfect timing will fulfill every desire that is
from Him. Any lustful or sinful desire; however, will be cast to the ground for
sin cannot dwell in the heart of a person after God. Sin may tempt, but it
cannot inhabit a vessel of the Lord for what fellowship has light with
darkness, life with death; how does a good tree produce bad fruit?
Pray and then read the whole Psalm 37; as you
do so be prepared to learn from the Lord.
