THE BIBLE Understanding your desires ‘He shall give you the desires of your heart.’

Psalm 37:4

Your capacity to desire cer- tain things is a gift from God; it’s a powerful motivator. Pic- ture two kids taking swimming lessons. One does it because he watched the Olympic Games and wants to win a gold medal when he grows up. The oth- er takes lessons because his dad said he had to. Which kid do you think is likely to make it to the Olympics? In Genesis we read: ‘Jacob served seven [more] years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her’ (Genesis 29:20 NIV 2011 Edition). What kind of person would see seven years’

hard work as a mere few days? Someone working towards his or her dream! Jesus told the story of a man with a ‘got-to- have-it’ desire. When he discov- ered treasure buried in a field, he ‘went and sold all he had and bought that field’ (Matthew 13:44 NIV 2011 Edition). Similar- ly, the people who listened to Je- sus were so drawn to His peace, courage, and wisdom that they thought, ‘I must have what He has.’ Do our desires sometimes lead us astray? For sure! In or- der to be able to trust them, you must do two things: 1) Desire a relationship with God above all else. ‘Delight yourself also in the

Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.’ 2) Make sure your desires are in harmo- ny with His will. ‘I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart’ (Psalm 40:8 NKJV). When you centre your life around God and His Word, you can trust ‘the desires of your heart’. And God will give them to you! The Word For Today is written by Bob and Debby Gass.

Maria Jones is pleased to announce the opening of her new funeral home in Brockenhurst located in premises which were previously Robert Bruce Hairdressers, behind Spencer’s Estate Agents. Maria said, “It has been very difficult to find the right premises but the wait has been worth it and we feel fortunate to be now in a position where we can offer an independent local family service”. Maria will be assisted by her husband Michael, who between them have 55 years experience in funeral service, working in the past for large companies including former royal funeral directors, J H. Kenyon. Michael said, “We were privileged in London to serve not only the rich and famous but also those who didn’t have anything or anyone, sometimes not even a name which meant that often only ourselves and a minister would gather around the grave.”
