Psalm 37:4
'Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.'
I love this verse in the amplified bible. It shows me that God knows my secret desires without me even giving voice to them.
I witnessed the fruit of this verse as I experienced a gift for my heart. Two of my beautiful friends made a road trip to visit me on Friday.
Now these are two of the people I miss the most since our move. We used to meet once a week or at least every two weeks for the last few years. They have been integral in spurring me on as we've encouraged, laughed, cried, lived life and prayed together.
God knew the secret petitions of my heart as I longed for their fellowship. He also knew theirs in spending time with me.
It is a beautiful thing to know and be known. One of these friends I haven't seen since we moved. As we sat down with our tea around my new counter, it was like we'd never left. They are the epitome of being kindred spirits.
Our whole day was one complete blessing. It made my heart smile to see my friends enjoy every bit of it. We went for a delectable lunch and then to the legislative building. We were treated like royalty and went for a tour to see the incredible building. Amazed by its history and the freedom we had to explore; we sat with tea in the basement and prayed for our government and the privilege to be doing just that.
We marveled at how God blessed us with an afternoon so tailored to who we were. I know full well how these friends of mine delight in our Lord.
It encouraged me so much to see Him faithful to His word and give us the desires of our hearts. Thank you my friends and my God for this beautiful timely gift.
Delight : a high degree of pleasure or enjoyment, joy; rapture
How are you finding delight in God? There are so many ways to take pleasure in His Creation. Be deliberate to find the joy and your hearts desires will be realized.
