Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
This scripture reminds me of little children at Christmas sitting on Santa's lap, spouting out all the things they desired for him to bring them! Many Christians are much the same by asking God for everything under the Sun, instead of asking the Son for more of Him!
If we had nothing it would be enough if we only had the Lord Jesus. As I grow older, I don't desire the things of the world as much as I did when I was young, and I don't need as much to survive because He has blessed me!
When we delight ourselves in Him, He puts His desires in our heart and our desires begin to wane because our life consists of our relationship with Him. So, ask Him to consume you and fill your heart with His desires and you will receive great blessing and His presence will abound in you!
Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken. Isaiah 58:14
