The desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:3-4
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Many feel Christianity is merely a list of do's and don'ts. That we're goody goodies that never have any fun. If we go beyond what we want and actually look at the instructions of God we will see that His instructions are there to protect us. What the world calls "fun" has so many consequences that we will be protected from if we only obey.

4 Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

This verse may sound like a health and wealth gospel. We do what God wants and he will give us what we want.

However this verse tells us to delight in the LORD. That means getting to know him and his ways. The how, what, why and when of the LORD. The way we do this is through his word. As we read his word we will be transformed (Romans 12:2) and our desires will be more in line with what God desires. 2 Peter 1:3-4

Then as any parent who see his children obeying and growing in the way they were taught, God will open the stores of heaven and give us our desires because our desires have become his and for his glory.
