    Is God Granting the Desires of Your Heart?

    Consider Where the Desires of Your Heart Come From -- For many years I have heard people pray, “Lord, grant her the desire of her heart.” I will admit I took up that prayer on occasion without understanding the source of it. Then one day I read it. King David prayed that prayer in Psalms 20:4 (NIV), “May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.” In Psalm 145:16 King David praised God for satisfying the desire of every living thing. Have you prayed this prayer? Do you believe God will satisfy your every desire? Are there any caveats?

    Did You Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth After You Received Salvation?

    Even Eve and Moses Were Guilty of Looking a Gift Horse in the Mouth -- In the last blog post, I asked if you look a gift horse in the mouth when receiving blessings from God. In this post we will see how Eve and Moses looked a gift horse in the mouth and the consequences of doing so. We will also analyze whether we have done so after receiving salvation.

    Do You Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth?

    What We Can Learn from the Allocation of the Promised Land -- Is it possible that we look a gift horse in the mouth when we receive blessings from God? Don’t be too quick to say, “Ah, no! I would never do that.” We can learn a lot about how people accept God’s blessings by looking at the children of Israel’s responses to how Joshua allocated the Promised Land to them.
