"Delight thyself also in the LORD, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalm 37:4 KJV)
The fact that we have our delight in God has a transforming power, and raises man above the low desires of our fallen nature. The delight in Jehovah is not only sweet in itself, but sweetens so our whole soul, till the longings of the heart become pure as the Lord safely can promise to fulfill them. This is not the great delight that shapes our desires to become similar to God's desires?
On our way to carry insensate desire first, and soon put us to work to get what we want. Such conduct does not conform to God's will, which is to seek Him first and then expect us all things being added. If our hearts are full of God who overflows with delight, then the Lord will see that we lack nothing. Instead of going in search of happiness outside, we stay at home with God and drink the water from our own source. He can do much more for us than all our friends. It is better to content ourselves with only God than entristecermo us want the trifles of this world. For a moment we can have disappointments, but if they take us closer to the Lord, should be of great esteem, because in the end, we ensure the fulfillment of all our good wishes.
