Psalm 37:4

"Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

Wait, the desires of my heart, that thing which "is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick?" Why would God grant the desires of something so untrustworthy?

If, however, we are delighting ourselves in the LORD, befriending faithfulness, doing good, and trusting Him, doesn't that reveal a changed heart? Once our heart has been tuned to God's will, our desires also get tuned to His, and God will honour those desires which align to His will.

God calls us to have faith in Him, even when it seems wrongdoers are getting away with everything and God isn't stopping them. He calls us to delight in Himself, which means forsaking all our worries. When we do that, He will show us just how powerful and faithful He really is.

Peace.
