Delight yourself in His presence

Ps 37:4: Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

I've encountered this verse today for 3 times. This is such a wonderful verse.

There are two words that are being emphasized in these verse. The word "delight" and "desires".

In definition, delight means "to feel or take joy or pleasure" while the word desire is defined as "a strong wanting of what promises enjoyment or pleasure".

Many of us has his or her own desires in life. It could be for our family, self, future and current situations. Sometimes we lean on our own capabilities. Whatever it is I'm sure you are so eager to know on how those desires can be fulfilled.

It was clearly stated in the verse, you only have to delight in the presence of God. You don't have to swim the widest ocean, jump in the tallest building, or pay a large sum of money. Though some of our desires can be fulfilled by money. We should also consider the things that are "pleasing" to God.

It was strongly mentioned that God will GIVE the desires or the things we long for in our hearts. I'm sure you know that "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GOD". If you think the desires you have in your heart is too impossible, then It's time for you to hold on to this promise, "...he will give the desires of our hearts". Satan wouldn't do this. If we delighted our self into evil and worldly things the devil will surely be happy. Yes? but do you think he will give the desires of our hearts ?No. The devil wants the people to suffer and to be deceived by material things for them not to see the things God has promised.

Enjoy the presence of God. Have fear in Him. Do things that you know will please him. In God there is joy, fulfillment and He knows what those desires are. Remember, God created the world and even gave his son JESUS for us, what else can he not do???...

You are blessed.
