Depend, Delight, Deliver!

"Trust in the Lord and do good; ... Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:3a, 4)

In these two verses, I find my life's purposes summed up. I am asked to trust or fully depend on God: 100%! I am told to delight in God: in all things allow my heart to sing the joys of loving God. I am told to do good or deliver God to the nations. When I always do good, people experience the fruit of God and His name and renown are put on display and His fame grows.

I strongly identify with these purposes. My goal is to have my mind depend, my heart delight, and my tongue, hands, and feet deliver Him to all He puts in my path.

"Jesus, thank you for the present of these verses today on my birthday. Thank you for the changes you bring to my life. Thank you for the dependence, delight, and delivery that is glorifying our Father."
