Crumbs Under the Table

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.  Psalm 37:4-5 (NKJV)

The Holy Spirit’s ends this passage with the promise that “He will do it.” What will He do? He shall bring about His glorious purposes to pass in our lives. He will bring to pass His desires that He has put in our hearts.

How He does that is His concern, not ours. All that we are required to do is to carry out our duty according to His precepts. He will do what He has promised.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord, However dark it be;
O lead me by thine own right hand, Choose out the path for me.

Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best;
Winding or straight, it matters not, It leads me to thy rest.

I dare not choose my lot, I would not if I might;
But choose Thou for me, O my God, So shall I walk aright.

Take thou my cup, and it with joy or sorrow fill;
As ever best to thee may seem, Choose thou my good and ill.”

C.H. Spurgeon “A Treasury of David”
