My Word from God this morning was Psalm 37: 4-5.
“Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He will do it.” (NASB)
On first impression we may interpret that to mean that if we spend some time praying, reading the Bible and being good ….. He will reward us with the things we want most. But ….. there are always conditions to God’s promises! In this case they are to ‘Delight ourselves in the Lord’ ….. and to ‘Commit our way to the Lord and trust in Him’.
The more we delight in God, the more we will want what He wants. Our own selfish desires will take second place to doing God’s will. We will discover that His will brings us far more delight than our own will does. It may take us on a path that seems unfamiliar and difficult. That’s where the ‘committing our way to the Lord and trusting Him’ comes in.
The verse ends with ‘He will do it’. He will help you ….. guide you ….. and give you the strength and ability to complete the task.
If there is a battle going on in your mind about trust that God has way better plans for your life than you do! Trust Him!
