This is part 2 of a 6 series which I recorded about 5 years ago. In this episode, I am looking to link together the stirring by God in our hearts and also us working out this desire into a Spiritual Discipline and moving from a place of discipline to the place of Delight. Psalm 27:7-8, is a wonderful example of this.
“Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me!
8 My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.”
The Psalmist had to discipline himself to stop what he was doing and to respond to the stirring by God in his heart.
Moses stopped to explore the sight which was ‘grabbing’ his attention and when he stopped to look closer, it was then God, who was watching, intervened and spoke with him.
Discipline will lead to Delight as we train ourselves to be godly.
