Day 5: Delight and Desire Aligned
Reading: Psalm 37:3-7
Devotional: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." We often misread this as a formula: delight in God to get what you want. But the truth is transformational, not transactional. When you delight in God, He becomes your desire.
The promise isn't that God will give you whatever you currently want. The promise is that as you delight in Him, your desires will change to align with His heart. You'll stop wanting what doesn't satisfy and start craving His presence above all else.
This is the place of power—where your heart says, "Your face, Lord, I will seek." Not His hand, not His blessings, not His provision, but His face. When your desires and God's desires become one, you've entered the smooth path. The rocky road wasn't God's plan; it was the result of misaligned desires.
