What do you desire more than anything else in life? That is a searching question, isn’t it? You probably have many desires, but are they pleasing to God? To have right desires, our thoughts should be governed by the Word of God, the Bible. Do you know that while the Lord Jesus was here, several of His desires are mentioned: He desired to eat the last passover with the apostles before suffering (Luke 22:1515And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: (Luke 22:15)), and He desired that those that the Father gave Him be with Him to behold His glory (John 17:2424Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. (John 17:24)). The desires of others are recorded too. Some were good and some were not. As we search our Bibles for the answers to the following questions, may the Lord give each of us to have proper desires in life.
