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 at CFC Middleton that the City of Middleton would be won for Christ. 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 it mean that God will give us the desires of our hearts? Does it mean God gives us everything we want? Does it 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 placed His desires in our hearts 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.
