APPLICATION

The verses just before this one tell us that the wrongdoers will fade and wither like grass. Their satisfaction is temporary just as man’s life is temporary. It is God who is eternal and who offers eternal life. This long-term view is an important concept to keep in mind. We don’t live to satisfy our earthly desires; we live to follow our Father, who provides for our needs and wants as he sees fit.

This verse is redirecting our attention from those around us who don’t know or follow God’s ways to remember to delight in the Lord instead. When we look to him, expecting what he offers us—truth, goodness, faithfulness, as seen in the verse just before this one—then he shall give us the desires of our heart. As followers of our loving God, by now we’ve realized that his ways are higher than the world’s. When we look to him, desire him, he resets our priorities to align with his own. Peace comes to our hearts and minds when we refocus our gaze on our just Father, instead of the evil around us. He allows us the ability to delight, and he satisfies us there.
