This concept is woven throughout Scripture, reflecting both human desires and the desires of God. 1. Human Desires: The Bible frequently addresses the nature of human desires, often warning against the pursuit of worldly or fleshly desires that lead one away from God. In <a href="/james/1-14.htm">James 1:14-15</a> , it is written, "But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." This passage highlights the progression from desire to sin, emphasizing the need for self-control and spiritual vigilance. 2. Desire for God: Conversely, the Scriptures commend the desire for God and His righteousness. <a href="/psalms/73-25.htm">Psalm 73:25</a> expresses a profound longing for God: "Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You." This verse reflects the psalmist's deep yearning for a relationship with God above all else, illustrating the ideal focus of a believer's desires. 3. God's Desires: The Bible also speaks of God's desires, particularly His desire for a relationship with humanity and for people to live according to His will. In <a href="/1_timothy/2-3.htm">1 Timothy 2:3-4</a> , it is stated, "This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Here, God's desire is for the salvation and enlightenment of all people, underscoring His love and grace. 4. Desire in Prophecy: The prophetic books often use the concept of desire to describe the coming of the Messiah and the fulfillment of God's promises. <a href="/haggai/2-7.htm">Haggai 2:7</a> proclaims, "I will shake all the nations, and they will come with all their treasures, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts." This passage is sometimes interpreted as referring to the "Desire of Nations," a title for the Messiah, indicating the universal longing for the coming of Christ and the establishment of His kingdom. 5. Desire and Contentment: The Bible teaches contentment as a counterbalance to misplaced desires. In <a href="/philippians/4-11.htm">Philippians 4:11-12</a> , the Apostle Paul writes, "I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances. I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need." This passage encourages believers to find satisfaction in Christ rather than in the fulfillment of earthly desires. 6. Desire and Prayer: The role of desire in prayer is also significant. In <a href="/mark/11-24.htm">Mark 11:24</a> , Jesus teaches, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." This instruction highlights the importance of aligning one's desires with faith and God's will when approaching Him in prayer. The concept of "desired" in the Bible serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning one's desires with God's purposes, seeking His kingdom and righteousness above all else, and finding true fulfillment in a relationship with Him.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Desire.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1973.htm">1973. epipothetos -- greatly desired</a> ... greatly desired.
