Trust in the Lord and do good so shalt thou dwell in the land and verily thou shall be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Now keep in mind that we have to balance this out with what the Bible says about our heart because the Bible says that our heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. So it's like well how are we gonna get the desires of our heart if my heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Well you got to go back to the beginning of the verse delight thyself also in the Lord and often especially in Psalm 1 we see when it talks about delighting in the Lord it's referring to delighting in his word reading the Bible. See what happens is when we read the Bible when we're walking in the Spirit God actually begins to give us the right desires. We begin to see the will of God is an acquired taste amen. You know hymns are an acquired taste okay holy living is an acquired taste okay but you can acquire it you can like it right and so as we begin to read the Bible we memorize it we listen to it we just do we delight ourselves in the Lord he will give us the desires of our hearts why because our hearts begin to get renewed okay it says verse number five commit thy way unto the Lord trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass so we see here three elements we delight ourselves in God he'll give us the desires of our heart but we also have to commit our ways unto him what does that mean so it's not just a matter of reading the Bible do what you're told in the Bible it's what we see in James chapter 1 be doers of the word not hearers only deceiving your own selves so we have to delight ourselves but we also have to commit our ways unto the Lord make sure that you're faithful and the Bible tells us a faithful man shall abound with blessings be consistent be steadfast and unmovable always abounding in the work of the Lord for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain you know don't fade in the day of adversity amen go to 2nd Chronicles chapter 16
