The Desires of the Heart
What are the desires of your heart? What is it that you want more than anything? A spouse? A child? A job? Financial security? Good health? Fill in the blank…there are a myriad of things that we chase after as the one thing that we think we need to be fulfilled.
What do I want more than anything? Good question. I was thinking about that as I was meditating on this passage from the Psalms, which has always been one of my favorites:
“Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.” – Psalm 37:3-6
