The Desire to Do

Read:  Psalm 38 / Proverbs 6 / Joshua 17 / Mat. 23 

Psalm 38:9,15 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee... For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
Proverbs 6:20-23 My son, keep thy father's commandment...  For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
Joshua 17:12,16,18 The children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land... Thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong. 
Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

The Lord has seen my heart's desire. 
I know His promises are true. 
What does the Lord my God require? 
What He commands me, I would do. 

Let His command rule every thought;
This is the day we’re called to choose! 
“I would”, said Christ, “and ye would not,"
To those He called, yet would refuse.
