Desires of the Heart

Bible Reading: Psalms 20:4; Psalms 37:4; Isaiah 26:8

We used to be told, "If it feels good, don't do it". Now, we are told, "If it feels good, do it, and be quick about it". It's difficult to know what desires are right to fulfill, and which desires should be resisted.

Happily, we don't have to depend on the uncertain morals of the world to decide what is right to do. If we walk in the way of God's law and wait upon Him, He will guide us. Above all, the desire of our hearts should be to uplift and magnify His Name. Anything that dishonors God should be put aside.

Moment of Meditation: God's Word purifies the desires of our hearts.

A Talk with Jesus: Lord, let honoring Your Name be the first desire of my heart. Amen.

My God meets my needs. He also gives me my wants and desires if they are good for me. He also gives them to me, to show me His way is best and for me to wait on Him, instead of trying to make things happen.

Was taught as a child, to pray and ask in Jesus Name and surrender to my God's Will by saying, "Thy Will, not mine."

Many time I prayed, and wished I hadn't because I got what I asked for.
