WE CAN GET WHATEVER WE WANT?

 
 
 
Psalm 37:4
 
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." ESV
 
Does this mean God will give us whatever we want? Well, first we will be delighting ourselves in the Lord. What does that mean? It means we will be conscious of Him, eager to know Him, imitate His ways, commune with Him, and making His will our desire. If our hearts are truly right with God, we will no longer desire personal gratification, not that He won't bless us with that, but we will live to serve and please Him.
 
Heavenly Father, how humbled we are by the way we send up our list of requests for the things we want and for circumstances to go our way. Give us that hunger to focus on You and Your will for us. Help us to let go of our selfish wants and allow You to bless us according to Your grace and mercy. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
