Psalm 37:4  Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

It's not just God's words that are a delicious delight, but the Divine Person - God's presence, God's personality, God's delight in us - and we are invited to taste, and savor, and relish and enjoy God. In fact, to delight yourself in the Lord is to receive from God the desires of your heart.

In this case, the word desire has to do with a request or petition; I am asking for this because I want it. Approaching God, treating the very presence of the Almighty as something delectable and delicious - results in the granting of your requests and petitions, the fulfillment of the desire of your heart.

In other words, if you let your taste buds become enthralled with the flavor of the presence of the Great I Am, then what you long for most will begin to shift toward what God has been wanting to give you all along. Your desire will shift to what Jesus is giving you, as Jesus gives you himself.
