Desires Aligned with His Heart
Reading: Psalm 37:4; Matthew 6:33
Devotional: "Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart" is often misunderstood as a divine vending machine promise. But notice what surrounds this verse—trust, commitment, and feeding on faithfulness. When you truly delight in God, your desires transform to align with His. You stop seeking selfish fulfillment and start pursuing kingdom purposes. Even legitimate desires—like companionship—should be kingdom-based. Seek a helpmate to build God's kingdom together, not just someone to meet your needs. When you're committed and trusting, your heart's desires become His desires too, and He can fulfill them without compromising His purposes. First seek His kingdom and righteousness, and everything else finds its proper place.
