The Desires of your Heart

I know a man name Blake who works hard for his family of three and manages to live a modest life. He is a caring, loving and giving man who would lend a hand or give his last dollar to any person under the pretense of getting a blessing in return. This man believes in the Holy Trinity: The Father Son and the Holy Spirit, occasionally attends church and only pray when he has trouble. As the sands of time flowed in his life, he begin to observe and worry about why it appeared corrupt people and evildoers who didn’t believe in God, they give the impression of being happy and successful in worldly things all while Blake’s life spirals closer to a dismal end. He is just two pay checks away from being without a roof over his head.

There is a woman of God I also know name Joyce with eight children from 10 to 28 years old. Since the passing of her husband Joyce has managed to help others in need, has a nice house, kept the family together, food on the table and put children through college. Joyce is full of joy with a kind word to say each time I see her. This woman’s cup continuously overflows with blessing for her and others.

Two people who both accept Jesus Christ as being true. Both are caring and giving individuals. Blake has a small family while Joyce has a large brood. Why is it such a contrasting difference in their blessings? One would assume that Joyce would be the one struggling, disgusted, and questioning why her prayers have not been answered on the other hand she is happy blessed and highly favored. Based on this situation there are loads of legitimate discussion points we could focus on: Pride, Self-righteousness, being Humble, giving from the heart, trust, faith and the list can go on. But for this topic of dialogue I’m focusing on not being envious.

We all know someone who depicts the lives of Blake and Joyce. It’s also safe to say many of us may portray some of these attributes albeit the good or bad traits. By all means there is yet another sect of people who will argue the point that God has not given you your desires, yet you keep knocking, seeking, all while trying to get an answer just as Jesus told us in Matt. 7:7. Often times God don’t always make sense on how and when he will answer our prayers and desires. We have to implement what David wrote “Trust in the Lord, delight yourself in him and commit your way to the Lord.” Psalms 37:3-7.Reading these verses David emphasized the word trust several times which tells us trusting in God is the key to your desires. Remember trust is a form of faith. However to get the wishes we also need to rest, commit, don’t worry and wait patiently on the Lord. By doing this God shall bring to pass the desires of your heart.

The question you need to ask yourself is “Can you not be envious of men who “have it all” and not believers? Can you not worry about the evil doer nor be envious because the day will come when they are cut down like grass Psalms 37:1. The solution is for us to REALLY become committed, trusting, not worrying and waiting patiently on God by aligning ourselves with Christ by asking to be in his Will as well as learn to TRUST Him. Become skilled at sharing your time talent and money with others less fortunate and not looking for anything in return and be taught how to be caring, love others as you love yourself. From beginning to end of your transition remember to maintain your praising of God during the excellent and unpleasant times. No matter how dark and even during your test God still blesses
