Being fulfilled and satisfied in Life…
Psalm 37:4 “Delight yourself in the Lord… and He will give you the desires of your heart”
The key to flourishing in your life and truly being happy with who you are and with where you are in your life is that you learn the skilled habit of choice, that the one and only thing that brings you delight is when you find yourself in harmony, in synchronization, with your Heavenly Father.
Making God your delight, is a choice of desire and of what you have a taste for…. When you set yourself to fall in love with God and to set yourself apart from the distractions of your world and simply focus on Him… Making God your delight is that nothing else will satisfy you, nothing else will complete you and nothing else will empower you more than getting closer to your Heavenly Father.
Making God your delight is demonstrated by you have personal time with Him; not those times where you do all the talking either… but times where you extol him, adore him, declare His greatness. Times where you share your heart, your concerns, your fears and your mind and then STOP! And LISTEN to that still small soft gentle quiet voice on the inside of you.
It is in this secret place that God reveals Himself to you, where God awakens your awareness to your created identity, where God re-affirms you and you feel the touch of the Father in such a way that your confidence is increased and you are affirmed as a Child of God.
It is in this secret place of the most High (Psalm 91) that GOD THEN DEPOSITS HIS DREAM WITHIN YOU! God is the one who takes a portion of His own heart and deposits a portion of Himself right inside your spirit. He brands you with an image of Himself so that you are now compelled to do nothing else but fulfill that dream and those desires that came from God’s heart to yours.
Where we go wrong is when we come up with our own agenda, our own dreams and desires, our own plans and wishes and we try to live our life chasing after something that never originated or came from your Heavenly Father. Cast away the carnal earthly fleshly desires and dreams and receive the dream of God. Dream God’s dream.
Partner with God by taking what He deposits into your heart by way of your personal intimate time with your Father and live every day to work hard at making those GOD-GIVEN dreams and desires happen in your world.
Live every moment of your life, expel every ounce of energy you have, to fulfill and carry out your God-given dreams and desires.
Then, both while you are on this journey and once you reach some pinnacles of fulfillment, then, you will experience the greatest riches of all…
God will give you those dreams and desires and God will empower you by the revelation of His Word and by His Spirit being poured out in you.
Decide right now today, that you are going to live every moment of every day to partner with God to make His dreams and desires really happen in your world as a result of your effort working together with His.
May His Kingdom Come thru you to our world.
