Delight Yourself in
the Lord
By Terry
Dean
“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he
shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
Psalms 37:4
There are several ways you can
look at this scripture. The first is that if you delight
yourself in the Lord, God will answer your prayers and give
you what you’ve been desiring. I believe that, but also look
at something else it is saying to us. If you delight
yourself in the Lord, he will give you the desires of your
heart. He will put those desires in you.
If you’re focused on Him first and have put
Him first in your life, then the desires in your heart also
come from Him. If it your heart’s desire to go to college to
become a doctor, then that desire has been placed there by God.
If your heart’s desire is to own real estate, then you know
where you should be focusing your attention. If your heart’s
desire is to start a business, then He is the one who put that
desire in you.
Starting a business can be a risky venture,
so a lot of people go through life living way below their
purpose because of fear. You’ll have to step out of your
comfort zone. You’ll have to spend time learning all the
aspects of business. You’ll have to put money at risk to study,
research, and find people who can work with you. It is not
always easy. There are millions of Christians who go through
their whole life working a mediocre job knowing there is
something greater for them. They get up and go to work day
after day…while their heart cries out for something more. You
can have so much more. You can complete your calling. If you
haven’t already started, then use this book as your kick in the
seat of your pants to get you moving.
Make a decision today you won’t just do what
is most comfortable. You’re going to step up to your next level
in life. It is time for God’s champions to come forth. It is
time for people who love God to start taking action in the
business world. For too long the church has looked at pastors
and evangelists as being the only ones with a special calling
from God. This is wrong!
