Moth to the Flame

By James Austin on November 19, 2017 in Theology

My dad is dying. Terminal cancer and he will be gone soon. So I am closer to him and the Lord than ever before.

“Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.” -Ps 37:4

So a few days back, I am in prayer about what is on my heart. And I recall this verse, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Then without second thought or hesitation, the overflow of my heart was, “YOU LORD are the desire of my heart.”

Yet His blessings are abundant when the winds are strong and the uncertainty prevails day by day. So I only trust and believe.
