HEART'S DELIGHT

 
Psalm 40:8
 
"I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart." ESV 
 
If we are "doing" things for God, and we feel obligated, just doing our duty, then we are not really doing anything for Him at all. Doing Godly things because we know we're supposed to is living by the law. Doing God's will from a pure and willing heart brings delight to our souls no matter how difficult His will is for us. It is knowing God is pleased that brings us joy.
 
Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness when we do things that we feel obligated to do or that give us applaud from others. Give us pure and willing hearts to serve Your because You are worthy of all we have to give. In Your name we pray, Amen.

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.
