Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. Psalm 119: 97
Have you ever thought of how possible it is to have the right desire? A desire that gives God no other option than to cause it to come to pass?
Coming across the text in Jeremiah 17:9, "The heart is deceitful above all things .... Does not make the situation any easier for most of us to believe it is possible for a human to have a desire that God would have no option but to cause it to come to pass.
This train of thought is not any different from the thought of Nathaniel ,the brother of Philip; when he was told by his brother that they have found the Messiah from Nazareth, whom Moses the prophet of God spoke about. Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Said Nathaniel.
Like Nathaniel many of us do not believe that a good desire can proceed from the heart of a man. I have met Christians who still have this belief. I have heard preachers preach such sermons. If this is true, why will God ever promise to grant the desire of a man's heart?
Has He forgotten that this is man we are talking about?
Friends God is too God for a thought to skip His mind. He has never made a promise He cannot fulfill.
This truth should cause us to pay attention to the text in Psalm 37:4. Delight yourself in the LORD, and He shall give you the desire of your heart.
The reason most of our desires are not coming to pass is because we have in our own ways reverse the lines in this text.
We have often times gone to develop a desire from something, someone outside His will and come to Him to cause it to come to pass.
To delight yourself in the LORD is to take pleasure in God's will and word. It is to make His word a priority in everything we wish for. When this becomes our habits we unknowingly begin to desire the very thing He desires. And when this is the case, having the desire of our heart become possible at all time, in every aspect of our lives.
Prayer; LORD teach me to delight in You, always in all aspect of my life. Amen
