Psalm 37:4 "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart".
The word of God is full of the promises of God, and the promise to receive the desires of ones heart is truly a great promise. But like all of Gods' promises, this one to comes with a condition. It is when we delight our self in the Lord that we will receive the desires of our hearts. But the thing is we might be surprise what the desire of our heart is when we delight our self in God.
To delight is to take great pleasure in something which gives great pleasure. So when we begin to take great pleasure in the Lord, He actually becomes the desires of our heart, and that is the greatest blessing that man can receive. When we delight in the Lord we then began to trust in the Lord, which leads us to commit our way to the Lord and we rest in the Lord. Now God is not going to give us great pleasure and then replace Himself with the material things of this world. His word say that he will have no other God before Him. So as we begin to delight our self in the Lord, let us not then hinder that wonderful worship seeking the material things of this world. Instead let us delight in Him seeking first His kingdom and trust that anything we need from this old world He will supply.
The word of God tells us He will withhold no good thing from us, but what we think is good and what God knows Is good is often two different things. We often want things that lead us to become ungodly in our actions and attitude. Lets just obey His word and seek first His kingdom and to do His will and let Him bless us as He sees fit with the treasures and pleasures of this world..........
