God Cares About Your Deepest Desires
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
Deep down at the bottom of your heart, what does your heart desire?

God promises that if we take delight in him, he will give us our heart’s desires. To “delight” in God—what does that mean? When we delight in someone, we long to be with them, we love having them around, we love talking and laughing with them. So it is with God. To delight in him means that we long to be with him; we love his continual presence in our lives, and we love communicating with him.
We long for many things in our lives. Will God grant those? Perhaps. But more importantly, he grants us himself. When we have a relationship with the Lord that is based totally on his presence and not on what he will do for us, perhaps we have already found our heart’s true deepest desire. Do you delight in the Lord?
GOD’S PROMISE TO ME
• As you delight in me, I will give you the desires of your heart.
MY PRAYER TO GOD
Lord, I delight in your presence and your love. I pray that I will always desire your presence and always enjoy communicating with you.
