3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37
At certain key times (and always for others) the Lord has spoken to me through verse 4 above. On each occasion the confirmation given by the verse came to pass, twice for jobs. One was a relative, living in America, who changed her job in Credit Control in a large company to become a primary school teacher. Another wanted to be accepted on a university course with stiff competition. She would have had to leave the country to study if she hadn’t been accepted. I told her and her mother on their doorstep, that God had opened the way for her to study locally and He did. The third was a talented young woman also seeking a permanent teaching post. She found herself competing against more experienced candidates, but once again she was selected for the position.
Anne and I are in a challenging place at this time, but last night in bed I again heard this scripture and though I’m not sure how things will work out it was an encouragement. I also reread Friday’s blog about God’s purposes for Jacob, PROLIFIC INCREASE, being fulfilled in unusual and unexpected ways.
3 Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in His eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure,
Feasting on His faithfulness.
4 Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life,
And He he will provide for you what you desire most. The Passion Translation TPT
The word delight means, ‘to gain great pleasure, satisfaction and happiness’. The Hebrew word also implies,’to be soft, tender’. We need hearts which are soft and tender towards the Lord, to be teachable and open to His ways for us.
May God bless and keep you today.
