Brethren, for today's devotion I have chosen a word from the book of Psalm.
Psalm 37:4
'Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart'
Psalm 37:4 contains a beautiful promise from God, but it is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. Many people mistakenly believe that this verse guarantees that God will give us everything we want, but that is not the case. This verse should not be seen as a guarantee that God will fulfill all of our desires, including those that are selfish or harmful. Instead, it is a promise that as we seek and delight in God, our desires will align with His will and He will fulfill them according to His perfect plan for our lives. As Christians, it is important for us to remember that our ultimate desire should be to seek and delight in God, not solely to seek our own desires. Therefore, we must be careful not to twist this verse into a selfish desire for material possessions, but rather to use it as a reminder to prioritize our relationship with God above all else.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I come to You today with a heart full of gratitude and a desire to follow Your word. Your promise in Psalm 37:4 is a beautiful reminder that when we seek You and delight in You, You will grant us the desires of our hearts. Lord, I ask that You help me and those who come across this post to always remember this truth and to live our lives in a way that brings You joy and honor. And as we do, I trust that You will guide us and fulfill the desires of our heart according to Your perfect will. I pray all of this in the precious name of Jesus, amen."
Have A blessed day in the Lord Jesus Christ 😊
In Christ,
Sanjeev Vivek,
