A favorite verse of Scripture says it best and most succinctly: “Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). This doesn’t mean that He’s necessarily giving you what you want, but rather that He is in the process of transforming your soul to desire what He wants. He is actually giving you His desires, and the more you delight yourself in Him, His Word, and His will, the more you can expect to see His desires implanted within you. We don’t have to be afraid of what God’s will might be.
