Today’s Devotional 📖

Good Morning,

God loves you, He is good, and He wants to give you the desires of your heart! It’s not wrong to have desires. It’s part of how God created us to be. The Heavenly Father is actually interested in granting us the desires of our hearts because of His great love for us. Desires is not a deep term; it simply refers to the things we want in this life.

When we talk about praying concerning things that we want, people often ask, “What if I have the wrong desire?” The key to that question is found in Psalm 37:3 and 4. The passage, as we covered over the last few weeks, tells us to trust God and do good. Verse 4 tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord. What does that mean? It means to find our happiness in God, to enjoy serving God, and to find our delight in God. As we do this, trust God, and do good, the Holy Spirit is able to work on our hearts and deal with wrong desires.

As you grow in relationship with Him, there are times where He will pinpoint those desires and ask you to give them up. It may be a hard thing for you to give up. However, this is where the trust factor comes in. Whenever God asks you to give up something, it’s because He has something far better for you! You can believe that something better is coming your way!

I remember an old phrase from a revival decades ago. It was “You can never beat God giving, no matter how hard you try.” Sometimes, you have to give up a desire you worked towards. A desire that you studied towards. Something you thought you wanted for a long time. If the Lord leads you to give it up, He has something better for you. He will cause you to receive the maximum return for what you gave up to serve and obey Him.

The Book of Hebrews reminds us that God doesn’t forget our labor of love. God does not forget what you do for Him. He will reward you. Stay faithful. Stay willing and obedient. If you do, as it says in Isaiah 1:19, you’ll enjoy the good and the best in this life.
