The Good News Today Is...God really does give you the desires of your heart...so guard your heart. For example, I realized that when I was younger and always struggling with my weight, I used to wish that eating would make me sick. Well - 20 years later and two surgeries later - I can't eat my favorite foods without getting violently ill. So this is an extreme and I'm sure this wasn't really what I had in mind, but ohhh did I desire it at one time. Now the desires of my heart are much more in tune with the will of God. As we mature we desire to know what plans God has for us and how we can be obedient to those plans. I loved this picture because I love to take long walks down quiet country roads and listen for the still small voice that I now delight in. The desires of my heart are now the result of the delight in the Lord, instead of my delight in the Lord coming from receiving the desires of my heart.
