Sunday Psalms;

May he give you 

what your heart desires and fulfill 

your whole purpose. 

Let us shout for joy 

at your victory 

and lift the banner 

in the name of our God. May the Lord 

fulfill 

all your requests.

Psalms 20:4-5 CSB

While this Psalm is a battle song and talks about days of trouble and victory and all that, there is this beautiful piece here where David recognises our hearts desires, he recognises that we're wired in certain ways, that there's things in us that we're kind of made for. 

And that's good. 

If those things in your heart align with God's character, his heart for creation, the world, people, you, then follow them, allow, or even better, give the seeds of those things the space and place to flourish. 

I met with a pastor this week who said (despite sharing about the weight of the work and his own health issues) "I wouldn't want to be doing anything else". 

This is the place where his heart desires and purpose intersects with the needs of the world and God's heart. 

Maybe you're there. 

Maybe you have glimpses of that.

Or maybe there's something in you that needs expression or the space to grow. Let's not live in fear or look back with regret. 

Our God is on our side and like a good father, wants us to flourish.
