desire

 


What do you desire?


I heard this asked on a TV show recently.  Each time it was asked the person had to share from deep inside them what their biggest desire was.  How often do we really know what our desire is?


Often we deceive ourselves or are deceived by others when it comes to what we want.  We might even trick others or do things that we think will get us what we want.


Be careful.  How desires should line up with what is best.  That is what God says is best and what builds up everyone involved.  Check your motives.  Be honest about what you find.  In fact watch how God adjusts your desire or my desire because we choose to focus on Him.


God will reveal our desires.  God will help us dig in to see things happen or become reality.


Psalms 145:16  NASB

You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing.


We serve an awesome God.  He loves to bless His children, but often our desires are so far out of line with what God knows is best for us. 


Isaiah 58:11  NASB

"And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.


Maybe you or I even think that something is impossible.  Maybe we think that we are not worthy of being blessed.  God will make a way in our lives and for good things to come as we seek Him and His best for those around us.


God satisfies our desire as we become more like Him.  May we see our desire become like His desire.  May our desires help others see God.  That makes all of us sail higher and win more.


Proverbs 11:23  NASB

The desire of the righteous is only good, But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.


May our desires depict a life set in the direction of honoring God.  Let God satisfy your deepest desires.


Matthew 5:6  NASB

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

"Wild Goose Chase" by Mark Batterson (a review)

Hitting the book shelves of the bookstores and the market place on the Internet is Mark Batterson's book Wild Goose Chase .  This is an awesome book to follow In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day , Mark's first book.   You can follow Wild Goose Chase and also see Mark's "10 Steps to Setting Life Goals" at www.chasethegoose.com .   BOOK REVIEW (of sorts)   I really enjoy Mark Batterson's style and find him easy to read and understand.  At the same time I find myself challenged as a Christ follower and as a church leader.  The reader is reminded that life is intended, from God, to be an adventure and not boring.   Mark talks about six cages that hold Christians back from being who God intends for us to be.  They are: the cage of responsibility , the cage of routine , the cage of assumptions , the cage of guilt , the cage of failure , and the cage of fear .  Each one opens up some pretty deep questions for ...
