Does God Give you the Desires of your Heart?

I believe Psalm 37:4 has been misrepresented by so many people. I hear people all the time who are trying to preach prosperity use this example. The verse says “Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” And if that is all you read then that is the way it sounds. You would think that no matter your desire, God will grant that. He is in a … Continue reading

Thoughts, Attitude & Actions

When you look at life, there are only three things you have full control over. They are your thoughts, attitude and your actions. Outside of those three things you don’t have full control over anything else. I see many people who try to control their spouse or their kids or other people in general but they never have control over what others think, or do, only what they do themselves. In reality your thoughts determine … Continue reading
