“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
Psalm 37:4 (KJV)
Blowing on a dandelion and making a wish is one of childhood’s small rituals. Psalm 37 offers something sturdier than wishing. Delight in the LORD, it says, and He will give you the desires of your heart. The order matters. As we come to enjoy God Himself, our desires are slowly reshaped, until what we long for begins to look like what He loves. This is not a formula for getting whatever we want. It is a promise that a heart taken up with God will not end up empty. The seeds we release in trust have a way of landing exactly where they should.
