“I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”

Psalm 40:8

I thought about this as I am beginning my day today.  What do I really want?  What is my greatest desire?  The Psalmist gives his testimony, “I desire to do your will, my God.”  Is there a higher calling?  I can at least partially understand that. 

Today, February 14, is St. Valentine’s Day, a time when we praise God for the gift of love.  For us who are believers that love is not just a feeling but a major driving force in life!  It is a marvelous gift of God!

If that law is within my heart, by faith, I want to do what God wants me to do!  It is as simple as that.  If Jesus is not reigning in my heart, I hardly know what to do or think.  When by the miracle of the New Birth the Spirit of God enlightens my life, I see so clearly.  That is a miracle!  This touches me. 

So, today, Lord, I give myself to the law that you put into my heart, to do and think as God directs!
