In Psalm 37.4, David writes, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart” (NIV). I have always found this promise intriguing, for there have been times in my life that God has changed my desires in order to fall in line with His (there is a story behind that statement, which perhaps I will record later). It is interesting how God can make pleasurable something you initially had no desire to do.
One unfulfilled desire, though, has remained a constant since my graduation from Nyack College in 1980 – to work on campus with college students. After 28 years pastoring churches, God has seen fit to grant my desire. Having resigned my position as Senior Pastor at Randall Baptist Church this past June, God has opened a door that I had given up on. I have entered into the ministry fray at the University at Buffalo, and what a delight it is. It is a field ready to harvest.
What a blessing this opportunity is! I had forgotten how fun ministry could be! So, now I have entered into the support-raising mode. I must admit – I hope it goes quickly – for my heart beats with a desire to be on campus fulltime.
