Befriend Faithfulness

Posted on January 27, 2015 Updated on June 5, 2015

What is the desire of your heart? What do you long for in your life to see God fulfill?

Many of us have deep longings that are pursued according to what we believe is the right approach, however God offers an approach that may not conform to the wisdom of the world but promises to lead us into the fulfillment of our deep desires.

It begins with trust. Not trusting in our own ability and skill but trust in God who establishes us in His will.

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.” (Psalm 37:1)

To befriend faithfulness is to cultivate a lifestyle of obedience by honoring God in our daily roles. His Word, the bible leads us into His truth about how to live in a way that pleases Him.

As we learn about God and all His goodness and love toward us we will begin to delight in Him. As I learned to delight in God my deep desires and longing for a blessed life began to center on God’s plan for me. Understanding that all things come from God it made sense to delight in the Giver of all things good.

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:2)

Once we learn to trust in the Lord we are lead to delight in His involvement in our lives then we must commit our way to Him.

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.” (Psalm 37:3)

Trust, delight and committing places us in a position for God to act. The same God who did not spare His only Son (Romans 8:32) will also give us the very best for our lives. He promises to give us the desires of our heart once we are in right relationship with Him.

Wait for God’s best, befriend faithfulness!
