While driving and listening to one of my favorite worship songs, I found myself singing along with the words. “This is my desire, to honor you. All that I desire is in me. All I have within me I give you praise. All that I adore is in you.” As I sang these lyrics I began worshiping the Lord and the thought quickly came to mind, “Is it really?” In all honesty, all that I adore is often not Him! King David is one of my very favorite bible characters. He made mistakes. He was a sinner but it’s obvious from scripture that he had an amazingly close relationship with God. He’s referred to as having “a heart after God.” What David lived out was not perfection, or sacrifice, but intimacy with his maker. He was passionate for the Lord.
Life is all about choices; every day, every hour, often every minute. Luke 6:21 tells us “Where ever your treasure is, there also the desires of your heart will be.” Our choices are driven by what we treasure. We will do what we need to in order to protect and care for what we value: after all, they’re our treasures!
I want to be all out for God! I want to be able to confidentially sing “All that I desire is in you!”
