Lifetime Occupation

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. ~ Psalm 37:4 New Living Translation

 

Father,

 

I have long loved this verse; ever since I claimed it as my own when seeking relief from infertility. But the truth is; delighting in You is a lifetime occupation – it’s an enjoyable one, to be sure – but it does require keeping my focus on You.

 

It's also true that once you receive your heart’s desire, then you must take care of what you received. And then, being human, we discover more desires …

 

Father, today I ask You to help me and my friends keep our focus on You, and focus on the delightful things about You. There are many – You are kind, gracious, merciful, forgiving, compassionate, caring, loving, and so much more! I cannot understand why anyone would rather go their own way then to be Your child.

 

Help us share our delight in having such an awesome God with everyone we meet.

 

In Jesus name, so be it, amen.
