Let the Creator of This Universe Create the Desires of Your Heart.

“Delight yourself in the LORD,

and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalms 34:7

I can’t tell you how many times I have read this verse and had these thoughts in my mind, “If I can just do better at serving God, THEN I’ll get what I desire.” “If I can just be good enough, THEN I’ll magically start seeing every earthy desire I’ve ever dreamed of come to pass.”

I think so many times, especially here in America, we have the perception that Christianity is flowers and rainbows constantly. Being a christian is easy, right? No way!

We must be intentional in serving Yahweh! There is no amount of spiritual maturity that is going to make your life easier here on earth, but there is an amount of spiritual maturity that will make your life worth the hardship here on earth!

Let’s read the verse again,

“Delight yourself in the LORD,

and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalms 34:7

The word “delight” found in the verse is translated to the Hebrew word,

“ânag, aw-nag’; a primitive root; to be soft or pliable.”

We must be soft and pliable towards the things of God! The more we make this a reality in our lives, the more real He will become to us. And He will CREATE NEW DESIRES within us! Our earthly desires no longer hold a grip on us because the reality of God’s word becomes more real to us as we become soft and pliable to Him!
