God Promises Your Heart's Desire

Psalms 37:4-6 Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your Righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
 
FALSE teachers will tell you God will give you what you want if you claim your loyal obedience to his Word. True teachers will tell you God will give you all you want when all you truly want is him.
   Delight in the Hebrew meaning is to have abundant blessings in the LORD, separate from any material blessings. Your pleasure is knowing God, so you will build a deep, abiding relationship with him. As you assess your priorities, you know the Holy Father, Son and Spirit is the essence of your existence. Perhaps another way to say that you delight in the LORD is to love the LORD with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, to worship him only, to make no graven image and to speak his name only with honor.
   When you delight yourself in the LORD, God’s commands command your life. God is as a pleasing aroma that stirs your appetite to prepare for a good meal. God promises he will give himself to you. He will not reject you or hide from you. Seek him, and you will find him. Desire God, and he will give himself to you.
   To commit your way to the LORD means to give your burdens to him. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. How do you cast your burdens to God? The burdens of your heart and mind cannot be packaged and delivered to God’s house, can they?
   In a way they can. You can put your burdens into spiritual boxes labeled Confession, Humility, Truth, Forgiveness, Justice and Righteousness. Some burdens are self-caused. You keep sin against another your secret, and it gnaws at your heart. You hold forgiveness from one who’s wronged you. Pride will isolate you. Lies will destroy your integrity. Burdens are rooted in replacing God’s commands with your demands. God wants your righteous heart to delight in him, so he can abundantly give himself to you.
   Righteousness is a key to receiving this promise. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. (Matthew 5:6) You are filled with God, safe with God in the land he has prepared for you. David further wrote in Psalm 37:25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. 26 They are always  generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed. 27 Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever. He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.  
   Pack your burdens. Give them to God. Receive more of him than you can imagine.
