Psalm 37:4 says that if we delight in the Lord the desires of our heart will be given to us. Since I am convinced of the authority of the Bible, I agree with that. BUT, what exactly does it mean to delight ourselves in the Lord? I usually like to answer questions like this with big words and fancy grammar, but I am stumped with it. And furthermore, I am worried that I will one day find myself "trying" to delight myself in the Lord, even though I don't know what that is, just to receive the desires of my heart. I know that the desire of my heart is to serve God, seek to build His Kingdom, and to seek His righteousness, but also to one day become a Godly husband and father. I don't know what plans God has for me, but I petition before him that those desires will bear fruit. If nothing more in my life, may I raise a Godly child or two. You know, that is a vital part of building the Kingdom of God, remember that one. Anyway, if you have any idea on what it is to delight ourselves in the Lord, let me know; and I am reading "Desiring God" by Piper so maybe that will shed some light too. Well, I hope you've had a great weekend, may your week be blessed and merry. you have my love.
