As we get to know the Lord better, may our hope in Him also increase. May our focus be to grow in our relationship with Him and to allow Him to direct all that we do. As we place our hope and trust in God, may He show Himself faithful. Isaiah 40:21-31

Just like we desire to attain certain goals or achievements, it also helps when he desire to know God more. That desire motivates us to seek Him more. We invest time and energy in this pursuit to reach that which we yearn for. Matthew 5:6.

We are looking for fulfilment through security, significance, variety, acceptance, growth, etc. May our definition of fulfilment be based on the understanding that we have represented God well and been vessels He has used and still can use to positively impact others for His glory. May our hopes not be pegged on an object. May we find joy in service and be content. 1 Timothy 6:6.

In Matthew 21:18-22, Jesus taught the disciples the importance of growth. It is natural for us to desire growth, to want to improve. The Lord also expects us to be fruitful. I’m sure the disciples were challenged by what He said and what happened to the fig tree. His assurance in verse 22 must have motivated them and increased their faith. Let us not pursue growth outside His will for us. If our agenda excludes Him, we may end up learning some painful lessons.

We desire significance and love. We want to feel important and appreciated. Is that why we cause chaos when we get some money and fame? May we always realise that the Lord loves and appreciates us. That’s why He created us and gave us the gifts and qualities we have. He allows us to grow for His glory, not for our own glory. We are because He is. Luke 15:11-32.

As human beings, we desire variety and dynamism. We want our life to be interesting. Some of us get bored very fast and are used to a fast paced life. May we learn to trust the Creator more. He made us and knows us. He knows what’s best for you and me. Like the sail depends on the wind, may we depend on Him to propel us into His will for us. Psalm 135:1-21.

We desire security as human beings. We want to feel that we are safe, that our property and loved ones are secure. May we not forget that it is God who keeps us secure. We may put measures in place, but he is our safe refuge. Psalm 16:5.

You may seem like an unlikely candidate for impact and transformation because of your weaknesses. But persist and wait upon God. Willingness and availability are key ingredients the Lord looks for. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.
