"Trust in Yahweh and do what is good,
make your home in the land and live in peace;
make Yahweh your only joy
and he will give you what your heart desires."
Psalm 37: 2-4
People sometimes ask each other; "If you could have anything your heart desires, what would it be?" It is a good queswtion in many ways. I can think of many things over the years that I have desired: recognition, significance, love, pleasure, toys of one sort or another. But these are beginning to fade in most cases. They have less appeal and I'm not finding them as attractive as they once were.
I really do desire the joy of the Lord more and more these days. Is it the desire for that joy that is pushing all these other things aside? Or am I finding those other things not to be fulfilling and so turning elsewhere?
One way or another I find myself searching for God more and more and desireing to make my home with him.
