Delight yourself in the Lord

I have got some really wise friends.... they whip my thinking back into line without knowing they are doing it.....

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

... I absolutely love this verse and have loved it for a long time..... but realised I was putting the emphasis in the wrong place..... I was waiting for the LORD to give me the desires of my heart without delighting myself in him....

He knows my desires....

I remember hearing Retired General (of The Salvation Army) Eva Burrows talking one day about butterflys. She was saying... if you chase a butterfly they keep flying away, but if you busy yourself with the things of life, they just come and land on your shoulder....she likened this to happiness.....

Last night I decided I had to change a few things and have already seen the change in my thinking and the change in my perspective....I am accepting things that I haven't for a while and the desires I have had for a while seem to on the backburner....I'm excited about the present.....and it is good

God may give me the desires of my heart....but there not that important anymore

-Be Strong and Courageous-
