Journal Entry – Ladies’ Fellowship Evening
This evening was our monthly ladies’ get-together. We met at one of the ladies’ homes, and as usual, everyone brought a dish to share for dinner. One person came prepared with songs to lead us in worship, and another shared a scripture to encourage us.
The passage shared tonight was from Psalm 37, focusing especially on verse 4:
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
We were reminded that the heart of this verse isn’t only about receiving what we desire — it’s about delighting in the Lord. When we truly take joy in Him, our desires begin to align with His. Our hearts become shaped by His love and His will.
If I truly delight in Him, it means I love Him more than anything else. When my heart is fixed on Him, there’s no room for ungodly or selfish desires. Instead, my heart finds peace and satisfaction in His presence.
Tonight, my prayer is:
Jesus, help me to love You more than anything else.
Help me to trust You completely, no matter what the situation may be.
Help me to commit my ways to You each day.
Help me to be still and wait patiently for You.
Lord, may my delight in You grow deeper every day. 🌿

ReplyDeleteI love how you garner the nuggets of wisdom from your reading and apply to everyday life.🙏
ReplyDeleteI like to read the scripture thinking of a way to apply it to my life. It’s not easy to do as long as I give more prominence to fleshly desires. Only through the power of God I will be able to live it out
