I wrote a song last week after meditating on Psalm 37. The song based on what God put on my heart as I chewed on the truths I read. The two verses I spent most of my time meditating on were verses 4 & 5 "Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun." We typically spend most of our time reading v.4 and thinking "God will give me the desires of my heart!" We take on a christian consumer-like attitude that begins to focus on getting from God instead of giving to God for all He's done for us! We even an have the nerve in our pride to think we deserve to get our way, whatever it is even if it might be something God knows wouldn't be good for us! Take time today to focus on the beginning on v.4... It's when we
delight ourselves in the LORD that He will give us the desires of our hearts. As we begin to know who God is, believe who He says He is and understand all we have in Him (unconditional love, forgiveness, grace, mercy, redemption, joy...just to name a few...) then our hearts will begin to desire more of what God desires for our lives.... those things that are good for us... as He promises in Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works together for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.
Hope you enjoy this unfinished song God places on my heart... it has served as a melody to daily remind me of the truths in Psalm 37 :)
V1: Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart
commit your way to the Lord trust in Him and He will do this
Pre-Chorus: He will come through
He won't break a promise
He is who He says He is
Chorus: He is our God; our only God
He is our strength; He is our peace
He is our joy; and all the hope we have
He will come through; He will come through
