Hey, this is Beth. What we live for at Living Proof is to serve people the word of God. We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God is going to speak through it. Thank you so much for giving us this privilege.

I've got me some sneakers and I got me some kisses. I got me some almond joys we'll see if God decides to make this like the fish and loaves you just might find them all over the house today

I'm just gonna lay them out before him in case that that

becomes his desire. Psalm 37 I want to remind you of our primary scripture in verse four delight yourself somebody say delight

yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Now look at verse 23, if the Lord delights in a man's way,

he makes his steps firm, though he stumble,

he will not fall for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

Oh God that we would learn to delight in you and you would delight in us.

That is love having a cartwheel. We want to know the expression of delighting in our God.

Now I want you to stare at that fourth verse and I want to show you that it is a

promise. It's a conditional promise, but it is a promise, it's a conditional promise, but it is a promise in

scripture. God is saying all scripture is God breathed, so God is saying to us, if you

will learn to delight yourself in me, I will give you the desires of your heart.

That is a powerful statement.

Now someone might ask me, and this would be a fair question and a good question.

Beth does that apply to us under the new covenant?

We are New Testament believers this side of the cross.

Does that apply to us? You see we have to look in the context

of some of the promises in the Old Testament and see are they given specifically

to Israel. It doesn't mean we can't pray them. It doesn't mean we can't ask for them.
