“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4
Unbelievers delight themselves in the pleasures of the world. Their satisfaction comes from the flesh, this is what brings them joy. But what of the believer? If they also find their joy in the flesh they are no better off and are living a false life filled with sorrow. The flesh brings temporary joy which is the unbelievers part in life. As a believer you have perfect joy if you would “Delight thyself also in the LORD”
Our desires tell us the state of our heart. This is not to say we will not be tempted by things of the flesh but a clean heart will cling to the things that are honoring to the LORD. “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16) When we walk with GOD our desires are of a spiritual nature not that of the physical. “he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
When we are believers
And live in a fleshly way.
We live a life that’s empty.
Joy has a temporary stay.
But when our delight is in JESUS.
And our desires we before Him bring.
Our joy is everlasting,
Our hearts will always sing.
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22
