May My Desires Become His
“Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4)
I’ve been thinking today how many of my desires God has granted me. I’ve often made the statement that God not only meets my needs but also grants so many of my desires. I don’t know why he loves me so much but I feel so special when He gives me something just because He knows it will bless me.
“Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:9-11) I rest in that assurance. My Father has proven time and again that, although He may not always give me what I ask Him, He doesn’t withhold any good thing from me. (Psalm 84:11) He knows what’s best for me and I know that is exactly what I will receive.
In light of that, I hope I’m never found complaining about my “lot” in life. God is not obligated to give me what I want but, as my will becomes His will, I know that is exactly what I will receive. Isn’t God good!
