Scripture Reading
Psalm 37:3-4
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Reflection
This psalm does not say that delight in God will bring us everything we want — it says that delight in God will transform what we want. When the Lord becomes our deepest joy, our desires are gradually reshaped until they begin to align with what is truly good. The promise is not a blank check but an invitation to the kind of transformation that makes even the granting of desires a holy thing.
Prayer for Today
Precious Jesus, in You and through faith in You, I may approach You with freedom and confidence! Jesus, I thank You for allowing me to do so, even though I am unworthy and undeserving of Your presence. Thank You for allowing me to come to God. Thank You for always hearing the cries of my heart. Show me how to be as faithful to You as You have been to me. I trust You with all my heart, soul and mind. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Amen.
