If you have been here before, you know I've had a journey of total commitment to healthy eating and fitness to (now) wishing I had stuck with it.
Enter, this Bible study!
There are daily readings, challenges, and encouragements. Today is Blog Hop Day! It's my favorite way to share. There were 4 options for blog topics. Three of them gave me immediate ideas. Option 2 was the most intimidating.
So I chose #2.
Unpack the verse Psalm 82:4.
I have read this verse several times this week and said to myself, "Yup. I need to crave God more." I'm not very good at digging into scripture. It takes me several times of hearing the same verse over and over to get deep into it. And usually it's because a Biblical scholar (or somebody I perceive as way more spiritual than I am) tells me what the deeper meaning is.
I am NO Biblical scholar.
But I have decided that I am just as entitled to the Spirit helping me understand as anyone else.
So I dove into it.
I want to let this settle with me for a while, but I do love how this verse unpacked for me! I did discover more in this verse!
Not only do I need to crave Him, I need a strong and tender desire that comes from deep within me for his presence. And from his presence, my fleshly desires and the desires of my heart will become tuned to His desires for me.
Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."The more I crave Him, the more delight I will find IN Him.
The more delight in Him, the more my heart will be in tune with Him.
The more in-tune my heart is, the more I will desire His will for me.
The more desire for His will, the more desires will be granted.
I'm glad I chose option 2! What a gift this morning :)
