以主为乐
“又要以耶和华为乐，他就将你心里所求的赐给你。”
诗篇 37:4
以耶和华为乐。将你的一切交托给上帝。让你的心意与上帝想通。让你的愿望符合上帝的旨意。当你以主为乐，你心中所渴慕的就是祂对你的期望。当你学习想上帝所想， 你的愿望就与上帝对你的人生计划相一致。你的心喜悦上帝的心意，上帝也喜悦将你的所求所想赐给你。
那么，这是否意味着只要你完全按照上帝的旨意生活，你就不会遭受失败和痛苦呢？不是的，这节经文没有这么说。并不是说，如果你循规蹈矩，你就有大房子，无忧无虑，健康富有。这节圣经我们谁也不应该这样理解。但是，只要你跟随上帝，遵循祂的旨意，并以祂为乐，你必得着心中所愿，那就是主——祂自己。
今日祷告：
亲爱的耶稣，愿祢教会我求你所求。阿们。

Take Delight
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
PSALM 37:4
Take delight in the Lord. Let God be your definer. Let your will be saturated by his. Let what you want be shaped wholly by what God wants. For as you delight in the Lord, the desire of your heart becomes what he wants for your life. When you learn to align your will with his, your desires merge with what God wants to give you. Your hearts delights in what God desires, and God delights in giving you what your heart desires.
Does that mean if you live perfectly in his will that you won’t suffer loss or pain today? No, this verse doesn’t say that. It doesn’t say that if you are good, you will get a big house and live a trouble-free life and be healthy and wealthy. No one should read that into this verse. But if you follow after the Lord, if you do his will and delight in him, then you will receive the desire of your heart: God himself.
Pray for the Day:
Dear Jesus, teach me to want what you want. Amen.
