Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
We all want things to happen in our lives. We have desires, hopes and dreams.
So many of us spend many years of our lives chasing those dreams, hoping they will come true. And so many times we hear it said that God wants our hopes and dreams to come true. And that He will give us the desires of our heart. He does. And He will.
But so often, years go by and we feel empty and unfulfilled. We keep chasing those dreams, but to no avail.
Why?
There’s a secret to making sure God gives us the desires of our heart. It isn’t some kind of magic prayer or a special type of fasting.
It isn’t about attending the right church or singing the right praise and worship songs. And it isn’t about giving the right amounts of money.
It’s all about our hearts.
As we seek God, truly seek Him, and build a relationship with Him, the desires of our hearts will begin to change. We will begin to long after the things that God wants in our lives, not just the worldly things that we used to chase after.
And as this happens, we will begin to see things fall into place for us. And we will have the desires of our hearts. We will have the things that please us. And those things will also please God.
Now, this doesn’t mean that God won’t give us other types of desires, but as we continue to keep Him first in our lives, some of those other things will also unfold for us.
The key is to remember that God is not the means to an end. He is the end. He is who we should be seeking after continually.
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
