Proverbs 13:19
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul:
But it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
From the beginnings of time desire is what has caused mankind to go astray from God. Yes, the desire accomplished brings such peace, satisfaction, rest in the soul. It also feeds that inner wicked feeling of entitlement that is so common today in western society.
The Father wants to please us his children. It is written that no goodness He will refuse to them that love him. He loves to accomplish the deep desire of our hearts just to see our faces light up the pleasure he procures us with His mighty goodness.
It all goes fine and well when our desires are towards Him in the respect and keeping of His Instruction; but most of the time, our sinful natures bends our lusts towards what the heavenly Father, in His great love, wisdom and faithfulness wants us to refrain from.
By subjecting ourselves to the Father’s Instruction, we learn to differentiate between healthy desires and sinful lusts. But only living close to and in love with Him makes us want to essentially please Him, and keeps us away from us the pull of temptation towards sinful lusts. The fools, which is one who has no respect for the Father’s Instruction, has no power to want to depart from evil, so it is an abomination for him to restrain his wicked appetites.
“Abba, Father:"

“Abba, Father:"
"I want to pray the prayer Your Son taught us to pray when He visited us on earth. ‘Give us this day our daily bread’, ‘ lead us not into temptation’, and ‘deliver us from evil’. Help us also to make the difference. The evil one (cursed be his name) often tricks us by promoting to us things that seem godly, healthy and wise. Help us, by a thorough intelligent understanding of your Words of Instruction not to fall for his wicked devices.
In the Name of Yahoshua Hamashiach,
I pray.”
