What do you desire?

 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.~ Psalm 37:4

What is my desire?  What do I delight in?  It has to be more than binge on a television series.  My desires and delights should first and foremost be Jesus.  What does that mean in my every day practical life.   It means that I am seeking to love like He loves.  I am seeking to be still enough to hear His voice and obey.  I am trusting Him with all of me and my family too.  

I am aligning my will with His and seeking to stay in the center of His.( Romans 12:1-2) I am being patient with my children and strangers.  I am extending grace and forgiveness.  I am not letting roots of bitterness enter in.  I am walking by faith.  I am doing these things, not because I am so good, but because He is.  I live in response to His amazing love for me.  I delight myself in the Lord.  I put Him first.  I move from my comfort zones as I follow Him.

Yes, He will grant me the desire of my heart because my heart will mirror His heart.  I will be in step with the Master.  My wants will please Him. As I write this, I realize that I need to "binge" on Jesus more.  I need more of His Word and more of His presence in my life.

Lord, forgive me for not making the best use of my time.  Help me to seek You first because Father your grace is amazing.  Help me to keep my focus on things that matter and love hard Father.  You are a good God.  Magnificent in every way and I love You.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen
