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
