GOD CAN GIVE YOU YOUR HEART’S DESIRE

Today’s Text: Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Psalm 21:2)

Today’s Thoughts: God can provide for all our needs, but He also loves to give us our hearts’ desires. If we ask Him for things and He knows that it is best for us or that it will not harm us, He will grant our requests. He loves to bless His children. God knows all things; He knows what is best – if our petitions don’t fall outside of His perfect will, He will most probably answer them. We’ve spoken before about the fact that this world is full of evil only because Satan is very active in it. God hates to see us suffer, but there is a war going on for our lives, and Satan is trying to deceive us into blaming God for our pain. God is good – always good and only good! He is very present when we suffer. If He wasn’t, things would be far worse. He is right there to comfort and strengthen us. God loves you and He wants to give you your heart’s desire. Believe it.

Today’s Testimony: I quoted from my favourite author, E White, a while ago (Today’s T’s Day 54). Today I’m going to share how the Lord has blessed me with many of her books. My family owns quite a few, but I wanted a few of my own.
Firstly, there was a book containing 10 of her books. I really wanted it, and it was being sold at an extremely good price, but I couldn’t really afford it. My birthday was coming up and I was hoping to get the book from my family, but decided to leave it in the Lord’s hands and not ask for one. I knew that the Lord knew whether I should get the book, or whether I needed the money more. My family did give me the book for my birthday! God is so good!!!
Then there were some more of her books that I really wanted. They were on sale, but at that stage I couldn’t spare the money. The Lord then later blessed me with all three of them and more. Some of those books I received second-hand but in good condition for free, and two I bought second-hand for an extremely good price. God is so good!!!
Then there was a nine-volume set of her books that I also really wanted. We had been given a few duplicates of the free second-hand books, and then there were some other extras that were sitting in a pile for us to give away. There were a few odd books from the nine-volume set, but I wanted the whole set – all nine volumes. Four of those books were very thick, and the Lord said to me, “Lindy, those four books are rather thick, go look at them again.” I did, and discovered that it was all nine volumes in four books. God is so good!!!
God knew that one of the desires of my heart was to own all those different books. He blessed me with the desire of my heart. He still does bless me with my heart’s desires on many occasions. God loves to bless His children!!!

Today’s Task: No matter what evil you see all around you, know that God really does care about His children. He loves us so much. He loves to bless us. He hates to see us suffer and He is there to strengthen us whenever we face trials. He longs to give you your heart’s desire – take your requests to Him. Ask Him to grant your petitions if it is in accordance with His will, and then wait for Him to answer. Never ever forget that He loves you!

Today’s Thanks: O Lord I thank You that You know the desires of our hearts. I thank You that You love to bless us with those desires simply to say, “I love you child.” I know that You love each one of us so much, and I thank You for that. Lord, we don’t deserve Your love or Your blessings, but I praise You that You joyfully give us both. I thank You for Your great love. Amen.
