And all we have to do is take delight in the Lord, and we will get all we want. It is almost impossible to imagine, because a part of being human is having a heart filled with desires that have little to do with the Lord, desires that would vanish if we actually took delight in the Lord. But what we cannot accomplish once and for all, we can accomplish one day at a time, one desire at a time. Ask God this week to begin giving you delight in God then see what happens to your desires. Questions, comments or suggestions for this web ministry are most welcome.
