'Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.'
This is one of my favorite verses. It says so much in such a short sentence. When I first read this verse, I got super excited, thinking, "wow if I love God he'll give me what I want!" This, however is a very superficial way of reading this loaded verse. It's so much more than just getting what I want.
If I am delighting myself in the Lord, the desires of my heart will be in line with his. What I want and what God wants will be the same. Delighting myself in the Lord is obeying his commands and following his laws and loving him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. If I love him with all of these things, he will give me the desires of my heart. He will do what is for my good and his glory.
