(air whooshing)

- Hey there.

- Hi.

(air whooshing)

- Wow, you seem reallyhappy, what's going on?

- Well, the new "ZombiePenguins and Killer Kangaroos"

video game just came out andmy mom won't let me get it.

(air whooshing)

- Wait, I'm confused, ifyou're not allowed to get it,

then why are you so happy?

- Well, I just read a Bibleverse on my Bible app that said,

"God will give me the desires of my heart"

and my heart desires "Zombie Penguins

"and Killer Kangaroos".(harp strumming)

(upbeat music)

(air whooshing)

- So, What Bible verse did you read?

- Psalm 37:4, go ahead, look it up.

(air whooshing)

- I will, "Take delight in the Lord

"and he will give youyour heart's desires."

- See, he'll give me my heart's desires.

- You keep saying that

but I don't think it meanswhat you think it means.

- What do you mean?

- You forgetting about thefirst part of the verse,

"Take delight in the Lord."

- I'll take delight whenI get my video game.

- That's not it, you're takingdelight in your video game,

not the lord.

- Oh, so how do I takedelight in the Lord?

- Well, to delight in someonemeans to find enjoyment

or pleasure in yourrelationship with them.

You know how to delight in God.

- Oh yeah, I enjoy God's presence by

reading my bible,

learning more about him and singing praise

and worship songs to him.(guitar strums)

- There you go!

- So I guess I alreadytake delight in the Lord,

Zombie Penguins, here I come.(spring bouncing)

- No.

- I'm kidding, I know whereyou're going with this.

- You do?

- Yeah, when I learn to enjoy God fully,

I understand his desires for me.

- Yes!

- And obviously his desiresare way more important

than my desires.

- Well, your desiresaren't necessarily bad,

God cares about the things that you want.

- Oh, I know but I also know

that anything that God wants from me

is way better than anythingI could imagine for myself.

- So, your desires eventuallytransform into God's desires.

_ Exactly.

- When you truly delight in the Lord,

that desire shapes thedesires of your heart.

(spring bouncing)

- And my biggest desirewill be to know God more.

- So, now how are you feeling?

- About what?

- Well, just a few minutes agoyou were pretty sure that God

was gonna find a way to getyou that zombie video game.

- Yeah (spring bouncing)

but now I'm realizingthat its not my desire.

- Wait, it's not?

- No, I figure if my mom saysI'm not allowed to play it,

then she must have a good reason

and God desires me to obey my parents.

- That's true,

I can see why you'd wantto obey your parents too.

- My desires transform into God's desires.

(harp strumming)

- His word is forever alive.
