Psalm 37:4

Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." What a wonderful promise from Our Heavenly Father and one that is so gloriously carried out in the lives of so many believers every day.

Wanna and I were the recipients of God's promise of the desires of our hearts on our vacation last week. We desired rest, peace and the comfort of God's blessed presence as we planned our trip to the beach.

And we were truly rewarded. The waters of the gulf of Mexico were beautiful. The sugar white sands of Panama City Beach, Florida were inviting and yielded lots of neat sea shells for us to have.

The sun shone brightly. The waves lapped the shoreline with the same regularity that we have come to realize is one of Abba's ways of telling us that He is in control and His power rules over everything.

There is a Heavenly peace associated with being at the beach. At least for us. We see Father in the sunrise and the sunset. We hear Him speak in the sound of the waves. We feel His touch as the sea breeze brushes our faces. We see His power when the storms come in from the sea. For us, it seems easy to know that He is everywhere, in everything.

And the truth is, He is.

I pray that He is blessing you this day with the desires of your hearts. I pray that you are seeing, feeling, and experiencing Him in all that you do, in everywhere that you go today. If you are, celebrate His presence, roll around in His arms and know that you are among the most blessed people on earth.

If you are not, focus on Him. Delight yourself in Him. Let Him become your heart's greatest desire and He will fill you up with Himself and His power and presence. You will come to see Him in the sunshine and the rain, in the laughter and in the tears, in everything.

"Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give you the desires of thine heart." Words to live by today, don't you think?

In His Love
