“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Many today are living this backward. They first pursue their desires, then God or perhaps, they are trying to pursue both at the same time. They know God wants to give them these things, so the assumption is – they can or should have them now. God greatly desires to give us all things that bring us joy. But, He knows these “things” – money, success, a companion and even “ministry”, will hurt and ruin us, if we are not first wholly fulfilled by Christ.
The promise is clear: seek first the Kingdom, sow to the Spirit and in His good time we will reap great things. Waiting on the Lord can be exceedingly difficult. But, it is the only way to fulfillment, true lasting fulfillment! The Good News still remains “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart!” What wonderful exciting things God has for those who trust Him by waiting on and obeying His Spirit!
