3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. ~ Psalms 37:3-4
David, who is described as a man after God’s own heart in 1 Samuel 13:14, tells us to do what is good, dwell in the land, and befriend faithfulness. Delight ourselves in God, and we’ll have the desires of our hearts. In other words, follow God’s commands, fulfill His call for your life, be faithful to Him and His word, seek after Him and His presence, and your heart will be changed. When your heart is changed, your desires change as well. You no longer desire evil, but your spirit will then desire good. And when your spirit desires good, you will receive the desires of your heart, for they will be in line with the LORD’s plan for your life.
When we delight ourselves in the LORD, we are filled with the Joy of the LORD, and we are no longer filled with a desire to be happy. That hole that we had that couldn’t be filled by anything this world has to offer is filled by the Holy Spirit, and as the Holy Spirit fills us, He plants, nourishes, and grows the Fruits of The Spirit within us, including the Joy of The LORD.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Do What is Good.
