Hope is hearing the melody of the future. Faith is to dance to it. ~R. Alves

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." ~ Psalm 37:4

I've yet again stumbled unexpectedly on that verse today. For the past few weeks, that little verse, one I've memorized long ago, has been rearing its head and demanding to be heard. I keep chewing it over and praying about it...but...I just don't know why this verse keeps popping up.

Is God trying to tell me something? Normally when certain verses keep smacking me in the forehead, it's for a reason...suddenly a piece of my life makes more sense. I grow and learn and know more about my heart, mind, soul, and relationship with Jesus.

But in this case...as much as I ponder these words, I can't figure out what they're supposed to mean to me right now...

Is He asking me to delight in Him...or is He asking me to trust that my desires will be fulfilled? Or is it something that I still haven't discerned, since I so obviously still need reminding?

But when I'm delighting in Him, isn't He the desire of my heart...so haven't my desires already been fulfilled because I have Him in my heart?

I suppose I should go back to meditating on the Word...and praying for discernment--something I apparently am lacking...
