… What am I supposed to do? Um, where, where am I supposed to be? Where is it that you would have me? Um, because too many of us make decisions right out of what we want, what we desire. And so if I'm really rooted in him, my desires become his desires. There's a scripture that says that, um, uh, help me. It just came, left my mind. Lord Jesus, the desires of your heart, he will give you the desires of your heart. But when you really seek God and he becomes your heart, he becomes your desire, then your desires change to match his. It's not the other way around. God doesn't say, okay, now I'm going to bless what it is that you want. He might. Right? He might. But he's like, hey, no, if you desire me, then he becomes the desire. And then you want to please him. It's not about what I want in my flesh and, you know, making sure that I'm happy. …
… take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Take delight. Another version says, delight yourself in the Lord. The Hebrew word here is the word anag and it means to be made soft or pliable. It means to take delight in, to find joy, to deeply enjoy. Delight yourself in the Lord. Take delight in the Lord. Enjoy the Lord. He will give you the desires of your heart. Enjoy his presence. When you get to know him, you'll get to know his will. As you delight in him, as you enjoy him, you're made soft and pliable. As you're satisfied in him, he starts to change your heart. He puts his desires in you. And as you enjoy him, and as you get to know him, you start to want what he wants. He gives you the mind of Christ. The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells within you. And God promises that if you seek him, you will find him and he will direct your steps. …
"This is His great prerogative." If He gives us great faith, He will get the Glory of it. It is God's Glory to make us live near to Christ. "Herein is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit." Do you not think that He will give you these great blessings? His actions, ever since He first revealed Himself to man have always been for His own Glory, and surely you have a mighty argument to encourage your confidence in this fact that to bless you with this wondrous blessing will be to His Glory! Then, again, He has promised to do this, and that is the best of all encouragements. "Whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive." "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." "The desire of the righteous shall be granted." Delight yourself also in the Lord; and He shall give you the desires of your heart." And as for you, Sinner, He has told you to come to Him. I spoke of rest just now as being enjoyed by those who find Him. He says, "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest." Whatever it is that your soul desires, is there not a promise for it? And if there is, there is a faithful God at the back of every promise who will make that promise good! …
