Psalm 37:4 [NAS]
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart?

What desires are in your heart?

John 15:7-8
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

If we are abiding in the LORD, living in fellowship with him, and making him a part of our decisions, He puts His godly desires into our hearts. It’s a beautiful cycle of abiding, thinking the very thoughts of God, faith being released in our hearts to do the very things the LORD has put in our hearts and minds to do.

I Corinthians 2:16 [NAS]
For who has known the mind of the LORD that he will instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

So as I have made Jesus a part of my life, He continues to show me his heart for people. My thoughts begin to take on a measure of selflessness and I desire to serve humanity. In Nate’s life and mine this is going to involve going to various parts of the world, but also serving where we are for now.

What are the thoughts that are whirling around in your head? I would say, “If they are good, pure, and if they are peaceable they are being put there by the LORD.” Ask Him what you are to do with what he is showing you. I believe He is always showing us something that is good and selfless. It is his great pleasure to give to us what we ask for.

Proverbs 16:3 [Amplified Version]
Roll your works upon the LORD commit and trust them wholly to HIM; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and so shall your plans be established and succeed.

This is a beautiful scripture stating that as we commit our works to the LORD, He in return begins to put his thoughts inside us. We begin thinking the very thoughts of God. Our thoughts are becoming agreeable to His will for us. This brings me such comfort in knowing that I am not going to make a wrong move as long as I include the LORD in my decisions.

I encourage you to listen, and then to step out and do what He asks you to do.
