Delight and Desires
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
~ Psalm 37:4
"Delight in God has a transforming power and lifts a man above the gross desires of our fallen nature. Delight in Jehovah is not only sweet in itself, but it sweetens the whole soul, till the longings of the heart become such that the Lord can safely promise to fulfill them.
If we will let our heart be filled with God till it runs over with delight, then the Lord Himself will take care that we shall not want for any good thing. Instead of going abroad for joys, let us stay at home with God and drink waters out of our own fountain. For a while we may have disappoinments; but if these bring us nearer to the Lord, they are things to be prized exceedingly, for they will in the end secure to us the fulfillment of all our right desires." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning.
ReplyDeleteOur Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of our sins, and our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver from all evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
