Ask And Receive The Desires Of Your Heart

"Delight yourself in The LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to The LORD; trust in Him and He will do this ..."  Psalms 37:4-5 (NIV)

This psalm was recorded by King David, a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22), to the believers to exhort them to delight themselves in The Lord and to trust in Him.  David said that if they did this, The Lord would give them the desires of their heart.

If we delight in The Lord, He will give us that which our heart desires.  However, if we truly delight in The Lord, in His way and in His Word, then that which we desire will be the right things, things that are in keeping with His will.  We have not because we ask not, or because we ask for the wrong things. (James 4:2)  If we trust Him, whatsoever we ask for, in the name of Jesus, will be given to us, as long as what we desire and ask for gives God glory. (John 14:13)
