Verse of the Day: Psalm 37:4

πŸ‘‹ Good morning, friends!

Our focus today is on a verse that beautifully captures the intricate relationship between our desires and our Creator: Psalm 37:4.

Verse of the Day

"Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

This verse isn't suggesting a heavenly vending machine, where we input our delights in God and out pops our deepest desires. Rather, it tells us that when we genuinely find our joy and delight in the Lord, our desires start to align with His.

When we allow God's love to permeate our hearts and His Word to mold our minds, our priorities start shifting. The things we used to chase after may no longer seem so important. Instead, we start to yearn for things of eternal value β€” love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and other fruits of the Spirit.

So, today, let's work on cultivating a deeper relationship with God. Let's strive to align our desires with His. And as we find delight in Him, we'll discover that the desires of our heart are being met in ways far better than we could have ever imagined.

Prayer of the Day

Dear Heavenly Father,

Today, I come before You with an open heart, ready to delight in Your presence. Thank You for Your endless love and faithfulness. Lord, I ask that You help me to align my desires with Yours. Let my heart yearn for the things You value - righteousness, peace, love, and faith.

I pray that as I seek You first in all I do, my joy in You will deepen, and the desires of my heart will be shaped by Your will. Help me to always prioritize my relationship with You, valuing Your presence above all earthly treasures.

Thank you, Lord, for the promise that as I take delight in You, You will give me the desires of my heart. I trust in Your perfect timing and Your loving kindness. As I navigate my life, guide my steps and let my heart continually find its joy in You.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

A Christian newsletter we highly recommend

A group of Christian millennials think they’ve fixed the news…

It’s called The Pour Over, and it has two goals:

  1. Keep its readers informed about world events

  2. Keep its readers focused on Christ

That means providing politically neutral coverage of events and pairing it with brief Biblical reminders.

The question is… are they hitting the mark? See what you think, subscribe in just one click.
