Have you thought about the desires of your heart? What are yours? Today, I would have to say the greatest desire of my heart is to see the LORD powerfully present in our midst. We have been praying for that at The Way since before Easter. We are waiting, and expecting, and continuing to pursue Him in prayer. I know He is going to reveal Himself to us, I just don’t know when or how it will happen.
How can I be certain? Because God has promised to give us the desires of our heart. Ps 37:3-4: Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. [NKJV]
What does that mean, that God will give us the desires of our hearts? Does that mean God gives us everything we want? Does that mean He will give us everything we pray for? Of course not. I’ve had a lot of strange desires in my lifetime, which had God given me would have made me miserable for years to come! No, God doesn’t give us everything we want.
He gives us the desires of our heart. What that means is that He places in our hearts His desires so that they now become ours. How do I know the LORD will reveal Himself to us in what some have termed “Revival?” Because that is my greatest desire … and I know that desire was not conceived in my fallen nature, nor even in my saved one! It was birthed in the heart of God and transplanted in mine. Since He placed that desire in me, I can trust Him and delight myself also in Him. And I can know for certain that He will fulfill that desire.
What are your greatest desires? Are you allowing the LORD to transplant His desires in you?
