about

The bible says that when we delight ourselves in God he gives us the desires of our hearts.

I've seen many people (I myself included) who have twisted this verse to mean very narrow things. Like "If I just put God first he'll give me that promotion..." which really doesn't put God first at all.

It seems to me that when a person delights in something or someone, the very delight they possess becomes almost inseparable from their desire. No doubt God sees certain good, earthly desires that we have and gives them to us- like a sick person getting better, or a child coming back to the Lord. We are creatures with numerous and complex desires, but if we truly delight in God as our first and highest treasure he will also become our first and highest desire.

"Delight Yourself" is a song just about that...

lyrics

We’ve come to delight in you Lord , You are our delight Lord
We’ve come to delight in you Lord , You are our delight Lord

You give us desires of the heart
You give us desires of the heart

We fix our eyes on you Jesus
All we want is you Jesus
This one thing we do Jesus
We delight in you Jesus , Jesus

We’ve come to delight in you Lord, There is nothing greater
We’ve come to delight in you Lord, You are the treasure

You are the desire of the heart
Jesus you are the desire of the heart

We fix our eyes on you Jesus
All we want is you Jesus
This one thing we do Jesus
We delight in you Jesus , Jesus
