@lindsaymatway: Guys, I’ve been looking at this wrong for years! 😱 You know how it goes, when we take one verse out of the Bible and ignore the rest, it’s easy to get confused! 😅 Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” 🙌 At first glance, it sounds like if we follow God, we’ll get everything we want... but wait, in Jeremiah 17:9, God says our hearts are deceitful and wicked! 🤔 So does that mean the Bible contradicts itself? 🤷‍♀️ Well, let me break it down for you. When King David wrote Psalm 37, people were freaking out because it seemed like those who weren’t following God were actually the ones prospering! 😤 David wrote to encourage them and remind them that those temporary treasures are fleeting. 🏰🌬️ True happiness and satisfaction can ONLY be found in God. 🙏💕 Not because He gives us every little thing we want, but because as we know Him, OUR desires start changing to align with HIS desires. 😇 And that’s where we find true, lasting fulfillment! 🌈✨ As the Bible Recap podcast puts it so beautifully, HE is where the JOY IS! 🎉😄 #jesuslovesyou #christianblogger #christianentrepreneur #faithoverfear #christianliving #biblerecap #propelwomen #spreadthegospel #christiangirl
