Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. — Psalm 37:4 KJV
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. — Psalm 37:4 NIV
Bible Verse Reflection
When man’s will is in line with the will of God in the way that was planned from the beginning, the things that are pleasing to God will in turn be the delight of our own hearts. When we take pleasure in the Lord and revel with the pursuits that lie the most precious in God’s heart, we will see that they are the delight of our hearts – and we’ll be able to be spiritually appraised of all things and declare, like Paul that we are in union with Him and are a part of Christ.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, forgive me for all the instances where I’ve indulged in wrong actions. Stop me from worrying about anything in this ever chaotic world. Help me keep my eyes of my heart focused on Jesus and to enjoy myself in the works of God. My thoughts should be aligned with the thoughts of Your mind. This I pray in Jesus name. Amen.

Alona Smith writes like she sketches—quick strokes, bold colors, no eraser. She ran a small-town art studio before VerseForTheDay invited her to swap charcoal for chapters, yet paint still flecks her keyboard. Dawn finds her barefoot on the porch, swirling watercolors across a travel Bible, letting sunrise seep into the margins. Neighbors wave as she bikes to the farmers’ market, basket rattling with sunflowers and Psalms scribbled on kraft-paper price tags.Alona trusts that Scripture behaves like clay: press your palms in, and a vessel appears where empty air once lived. Afternoon workshops with foster teens prove the point; they mold hope into coffee mugs, then watch steam carry it forward.Diplomas? Only framed sketches of hands lifted in worship. Awards? A dog-eared gratitude list taped to her fridge. Open her reflections when cynicism scratches—she’ll slide a brush into your grip and show you light hiding in the smear of everyday color.
