Delight yourself in the Lord and he will
give you the desires of your heart. Psalm
37:4

Does that mean if I read my Bible everyday,
God will give me a book contract? No. If I
pray and fast for a week, will God give me
a million dollars? No.

What it does mean is that as we delve
deeper into knowing the Lord of Lords, our
desires will change. We will crave the
things of God more than the things of the
world.

Of course, our human needs will make us
want. We will still hunger. We will still
delight in possessions and treasured gifts,
those tangible things that enrich our lives.
There is no sin in this. But, if we find our
craving leans consistently to the temporal,
perhaps we have been away from the Lord
too long.
