DELIGHT yourself also in the Lord, AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART. (Psalm 37:4)

  • Delight here is critically dependent on one thing: Authority
  • Delight here is critically dependent on verse 3

TRUST in the LORD, and DO GOOD; DWELL in the land, and FEED (GRAZE) on HIS FAITHFULNESS. (Psalm 37:3)

What is the meaning of Faithfulness?

  • Faithfulness means “Worthy of Faith”
  • Faithfulness means “I will keep my word”, “I will not fail you”

Statement: When we graze of God’s faithfulness, not only do we become more faithful, but we develop a relentless hunger for God.

  • The Purpose of Grazing on His Faithfulness is to develop a stronger appetite for Him. A HUNGER FOR GOD.
  • A hunger to know Him more. To be with Him. To be filled with His Spirit.

How can we stir up that kind of Hunger?

PRAY FOR IT

I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. HE WHO COMES TO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. (John 6:35)

  • It is a prayer God loves to answer: “Lord I want more of You!”

RECALL IT

“But I have this complaint against you. YOU DON’T LOVE ME (GOD) or each other AS YOU DID AT FIRST! (Revelation 2:4)

  • Remember the first time you fell in love with God.
  • Recall that very first taste of God’s faithfulness

TASTE IT

TASTE and SEE that the Lord is good. (Psalm 34:8)

  • Taste it and once you do, you will want to share it
  • Spiritual hunger is contagious. Get around hungry people

CONCLUSION

  • What is the Holy Spirit saying to you through this message?
  • How hungry are you for God?
