Psalm 37:4 keeps popping up on my 'screen' and I have been mulling it over...
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Okay, here's the pondering - I've read this verse countless times and more than likely you have to. It says if we delight, He will give.
So, I follow God and delight in Him, but the some of the desires of my heart remain ungiven. There are some longings that I wonder about, they seem legit. Then the battle comes, "Is God still good? Can I still trust Him with my longings?"
I have a choice, become disillusioned and hold back from God, or I can still trust Him and come to Him with my whole heart.
But, could it be another way around??? Could it be that if I delight in the Lord, He will GIVE ME desires in my heart? Will He place the desires there?
Instead of Him fulfilling my desires and giving me what I want, maybe it's more of Him giving (placing) me the desires in my heart.
Because I don't believe God is a God to be manipulated with. If I do this, You do that...
What do you think?
