June 9    Psalm 37

Take delight in the LORD and He will give you your heart's desires. This is an interesting verse.  A lot of people believe that God should give us whatever I ask for.  They think that because they go to church and do good things and put money in the offering plate then God should give them whatever they ask for in prayer.  This verse says our desires should first and foremost to be to delight in the LORD.
 When we do that, we don't ask according to our own wisdom, we start to seek what God says is best for us.  We find real contentment when we delight in the LORD because we start to see life differently.  We start to see our blessings rather than what I want next.  We start to ask God to provide according to His will rather than our wants.  When we delight in the LORD we begin to love and appreciate more the things that He loves and become less and less concerned about everything else.
