“FIND YOUR DELIGHT!”
Psalm 1:1-2
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.”
"Delight" is a delightful word. (I can’t believe I wrote that!) The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as: a strong feeling of happiness; great pleasure or satisfaction. That is the same definition David intended when he penned the words of this Psalm.
What brings delight into your life? What are the things that bring you pleasure? If we are honest with ourselves, I think most of us would have to confess that it's the earthly things that bring us pleasure -- things we can touch, taste, or feel.
If you will read today’s Scripture once again, you’ll see that David emphasizes that our delight is in the law (instruction) of the Lord. By that, he implies the Word of God; taking delight in it, a person meditates on it day and night.
I’ve mentioned earlier that "meditate" comes from the root word that implies a cow chewing its cud, swallowing, and then bringing it up to chew over again. Meditating on God's Word follows the same process, bringing it into our mind again and again until it becomes a part of us. Where do you find your delight?!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
