Delight thyself also in the LORD, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Psalm 37:4
Often times we prioritize things in the wrong order which leads us to receiving the wrong results… In the natural realm of thinking, we chase after our desires at all cost, stopping at nothing to obtain them… The psalmist reminds us today of the true direction in which everyone must travel to receive “…the desires of thine heart…” There are steps which we must take in obtaining the things which we desire to have and the first step which must be taken is that we must “Delight thyself also in the Lord…” You can have desires in life, but your focus and top priority must be delighting yourself in the way and will of the Lord… You must turn away from your own desires and walk by faith knowing that God not only knows your heart but that He will answer your prayers… It is so easy when things don’t go the way we expected for us to try and make our own path… We find ourselves praying for something and when God doesn’t answer in our way, we immediately try to step in and get the results that we are looking for… From studying this verse today, it’s imperative that we not only learn to be obedient to God’s desires and patient within our walk, but we also must remember that God answers in “ways that are not our ways”…
