Today we read from the One Year Bible in the following verses:
Joshua 19:1-20:9
Luke 19:28-48
Psalm 88:1-18
Proverbs 13:12-14
And let's look at the proverb. We see a similar theme to the poem above. And I think the ideas are very similar. But Hughes is asking the question above, and the proverb answers it. It makes the heart sick.
Fortunately God doesn't just give us the objects of our desire, He gives us the desires themselves. So when we seek first His kingdom (by loving His children, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, etc), He gives us the things we desire, and as the proverb says, that's like a tree of life flourishing.
God, thanks for teaching us what happens when dreams are NOT deferred.
