A dawn of something

Life as it is has been rather hectic these days. Been asking God what is it he wants me to do with my life of late. I was a little afraid of the answers I might be getting. I remembered once hearing in Psalms 34:7 that if you "Delight your self in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Well I am gonna rationalize this sentence for you best I can. To break it down

• Delight yourself in the Lord.

This means to make God's desires your desires. Delight yourself in the things that God sees to be worthy of delight in. As it is also written in John 14:15, "If you love me, obey my commandments".

• And He will grant you the desires of your heart.

Interestingly, we pay more attention to this part of the verse than that of the beginning. It says DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD!!!. That means to make your desires HIS desires. I used to think this is God's way of screwing around with verses but it's clear that I didn't read the contract properly.

I thought that this is God's way of screwing me out of a good deal but it's not. We can't even begin to comprehend the love, the sacrifice, and the pain He went through to redeem us. It's like Paul Washer said :" God is going. HEY!!! I AM YOUR GOD AFTER ALL THIS!!! AND YOU ARE MY PEOPLE WHOM I AM SO GLAD WITH!!! and we reply: "Ok.....so what else is there?" For God to have went from immortal status to come down to mortal and die for us, can you imagine how much of power you would be giving up? It's like the Sultan of Malaysia suddenly decides to become a normal citizen and help society instead of sitting on his throne. Imagine the magnitude of power you would be forgoing and to humble yourself to a level to which you as a God would be willing to die for your people. Jesus came the first step, who are we to say "what else is there?"
