Without knowing the full context of a message, people conclude they have all the facts based on a sound bite. The same applies to quoting bible verses. When we don't take time to hear (or read) the entire scripture yet we come up with our own interpretation of a verse. There are many examples in the bible where people text hop and misquote the meaning. One example: Psalms 37:4 He will give you the desires of your heart.
This passage is often the epitome to God answering prayers for our desires. When we read two verses before and two verses after, we discover a deeper meaning. Reading Psalms 37:1-6 one will realize that to get the desires of your heart there are several steps you have to take.
1. Do not fret daily
- Don’t worry how evil ones prosper
3. trust God fully
4. take delight in God
5. commit our way to God
Remember, the true purpose of our existence has nothing to do with getting the desires of our heart (more money, bigger house, better job, or other material things) but everything to do with serving and worshiping God daily.
