Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your heart
Oh, how often
do we read
this promise
dreaming of
diamonds
and Playstations
and new jobs
or perfect spouses
dreaming
shiny new toys
are on their way
for good girls and boys
But
I don’t think it means
anything such as that
For when we truly delight
in God
when we truly focus
on Him
and all that He is,
everything else
melts away
We stop caring about
new toys
new jobs
new talents
new things
And He becomes
the only desire
the only delight
and all that we need
in this world

It’s a crucial shift, isn’t it? And sometimes our fingers are so tightly clenched, that the letting go is a pain all unto itself…
