In our bedroom on the wall just opposite our bed is a poster of Psalms 37:4 which says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart”. I see it every night and every morning and I often ponder about the desires of my heart. What are they? Are they good? In another Old Testament verse it says that “their desires were evil continually” and in yet another verse ” the desires of our heart mold us”. God helps us and guides us in pursuit of noble desires, but evil, selfish, worldly desires are an obination to Him . What I really want more than anything else. I am not hard wired with that desire at birth, I determine that by my own focus in life. Even now as a 67 year old man I can change my focus, my desire, my ultimate want so that I am pleasing the Lord and a recipient of His blessing and power. What is the most driving desire of my heart? Mmmm do I really know? I want to have my hands on the steering wheel of my life and what I really want most directs me and steers me. I wonder how many people really know what the greatest desire of their heart is?
