Saturday 21, Jan 2017 - Delight in Him

 
 
 
Delight in Him
Today's Scripture:
"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart."
Psalm 37:4, AMPC

Today's Word:
Are you believing God for something that seems to be taking a long time? In the natural, you may have every reason to give up on what God has placed in your heart.
At times, you may be tempted to get discouraged, but remember, God knows exactly where you are. He knows the desires He’s placed within you. He knows even the hidden dreams—what the scripture calls the secret petitions of your heart. Those are the things that you haven’t told anyone about. Maybe you thought they would never work out, or you’ve buried them because they didn’t happen on your timetable. But God still has a way to bring them to pass.

Be encouraged because God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. Delight yourself in Him—find joy in serving Him and make your heart pliable in His hands. Don’t settle for mediocrity because God knows what’s in you, and His plan is to finish the work He began in you when you delight yourself in Him.

Prayer for Today:
"Father, I humbly come to You today, giving You all that I am. Thank You for fulfilling every desire in my heart. Mold me and shape me into Your image. Remove anything from my life that is displeasing to You in Jesus’ name. Amen."
