Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

God bless you. It's great to be with you today and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast,

our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit us in person. We'd love to have you

be a part of one of our services. I'd like to start with something funny and I heard about this 92-year-old

man. He wasn't feeling up to par, so he went to the doctor. A few days later, the doctor saw him

out walking in the park with this beautiful young lady by his side. He seemed as happy as can be.

Doctor said, wow, you sure are feeling a lot better, aren't you? He said, yes, doctor, I'm just following

your orders. You said, get a hot mama and stay cheerful. The doctor said, I didn't say that. I said, you got a heart murmur. Be careful. He heard what he wanted to hear. But here we go, y'all. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

I boldly confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same.

In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk to you today about God-given desires.

Sometimes life can be confusing. We think, how do I know what my

purpose is? What am I supposed to do? There are so many roads we can take, so many different paths we can go

down. We have ideas, goals we want to accomplish, but we're not sure. Is this my plan or is this God's plan?

Is this just an idea I came up with? Or is it something I should pursue? Is it a part of my destiny?

How do we know what's right for us? David said in Psalm 37, if you will commit your ways to the Lord,

if you will trust him and do good,

then God will give you the desires of your heart. We read that to mean that God will give us whatever we want. But another perspective is when you honor God, he will put the right

desires in you. When you have a heart to please God, when you've

committed your ways to him, then he will make sure you have the right desires. You can trust

that your will will will will will be aligned with his will. That means what you have a desire to do.
