Ed Young Daily Devotionals

When we fulfill our desires in God-honoring ways, we discover the full life He has for us.

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4).

THINK
Desires are good things, because they come from God. When we fulfill our desires in God-honoring ways, we discover the full life He has for us. Yet, when we pursue our desires in God-forbidden ways, we find ourselves missing the best of what God wants us to experience.

Where is your focus? Think about all the desires you have—the desire to eat, to sleep, to connect with others. If you want to experience true fulfillment, you will only find it when you focus on God and His way of satisfying them. It is by pursuing your relationship with God first that you discover the kind of life that God wants you to live!

PRAY
Thank God for the desires He has given to you. Ask Him to help you see His plan for fulfilling those desires.

ACT
Train your mind to think about the God who gave you the desires. As you experience desires today, ask yourself, “How could I fulfill this desire in a God-honoring way?”
