Word Filled Wednesday–Pure Delight

WFWlogo

Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4

rose

Pure delight in one’s life comes when the desires of your heart are the very ones the Lord put there and fulfills.  He can bring out beauty from ashes and transform our failures into fruitfulness.  There is nothing too hard for the Lord.
Ask Him today to put His desires in your heart.  As they unfold in His time, you will be delighted…in Him!

    Wonderful post! As you say, the more we know Him, the more we love Him.... the more His desires for us become our desires. What a great truth!

    Beautiful. Immature Christians think this verse is a spiritual credit card - in that the Lord will give you everything and anything your heart desires.

    You are right, it truly is about the Lord putting desires into our hearts. Thank you for the precious reminder of beauty coming from ashes. By faith, I'm expecting a HUGE amount of beauty in the Lord's timing.

    Have you ever noticed that the more we delight ourselves in the Lord the more the desires of our hearts become the same as His desires for us?

    What a wonderful Scripture to meditate upon. I want Him to plant His desires in me. Sometimes I don't know what I want. But He does!

    Blessings,

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block.

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
