Psalm 37:4 says – Delight yourself in the LORD, and he
will give you the desires of your heart. Sounds like the way to make your
dreams come true. But here’s the thing; if you actually delight in God, then the
desire of your heart is for him. So, what you get is an increasingly intimate
relationship with him.
But that’s the issue, right? Your heart wants what it wants, and you may believe in God, but you want other things, too. I mean, you’ve got to pay your bills, and live your life, right? Delighting in the Lord can’t mean that you do nothing else but religious stuff, can it?
No, delighting in God doesn’t mean you only do “religious stuff.” It means that God is the central focus of your life, and that pleasing him is what pleases you. So, take the truth of Psalm 37:4, and pray like this…
Lord, help me find my happiness in your happiness. In Jesus name. Amen.
