Do All That is in Your Heart

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you." (I Chronicles 17:2).
TODAY'S WORD
What is in your heart today? What are the dreams and desires deep on the inside of you? Maybe you want to start a business, or ministry, or go back to school. Whatever is in your heart, ask the Lord to confirm it to you. God leads us by desires, but we have to first submit our desires to Him. Sometimes we have to allow Him to change our desires, but know that He is always out for your good.
This morning, I have an excitement in my heart and a huge desire. It is our first service since the fire in the church and our family will meet today in two services for worship at a new facility. I wonder in my heart who will come, who will survive, who will dare to dream again, who has come out of the blaze? Will Eastside, the church I pastor do all that is in their heart? God has given us so much and now we have fresh opportunities in front of us.
It says in the book of Psalms that God gives us the desires of our heart. That means He places desires within us then brings them to pass so that we can live a fulfilled life here on earth. I believe David did this very thing. He was known as a man after God's own heart. He submitted His heart to the Lord, and then Nathan came along and said, "Yes. Do what is in your heart. God is with you." Whatever is in your heart today, submit it to the Lord. Trust that He is out for your good and working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you put your faith and trust in Him, He will guide you in the life of victory He has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, today I submit my dreams and desire to You. I trust that You are out for my good, and I desire only Your plan for my life. Confirm the plans You have for me so that I can walk in Your ways. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
We sure love you!
