What do you desire?

Next Friday we will be celebrating the birth of Jesus. Many people use this time of the year for the own desires of their flesh. Since beginning to have the revelation of relationship with God and what that actually means I notice that some of the things that I once desired with my heart, I no longer do. Psalm 37:4 tells us that if we delight ourselves in the Lord that He will give us the desires of our heart.

What does this mean? The first part of the scripture says that we are to first delight ourselves in the Lord. This means more than just singing and praying and feeling happy that God is in control. The word delight there means to be soft or pliable. So in order to obtain our hearts desires first we must be at a point where we are ready and willing to be molded by the Lord no matter what that entails.

Now, before I came to this revelation my hearts desires consisted of a new Mercedes Benz cls 550, a big house, a lot of money; you can figure out where this is going. As a result of being in relationship with the Lord I still do desire these THINGS but there not my heart’s desire anymore. The desires of my heart now consist of do the will of God for my life, helping people all over the world through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, I want to do what God wants me to do.

I could have only come to point in my life by letting God mold me into the man that He called me to be. Now as for the material THINGS, God knows what we like and what we want and He is providing them for Tracy and I, but there’s an order you must go through if you consider yourself to be on Gods team. Matthew 6:33 tells us to first seek the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these THINGS will be added unto you.

So as we enter the Christmas week let’s really think about the things that we desire that are in our hearts. The key words there are “in your heart”.

If you look at the life of King Solomon, God asked Him one day what He wanted. Solomon answered the Lord correctly and asked for wisdom that he may judge Gods people, and as a result the THINGS that people work for so hard for like wealth and riches were added unto Him effortlessly. 2 Chronicles 1:11

I pray this has been a blessing on your lives.
