DELIGHT in the Word – Psalm 119:16

Do you take delight in the Word of God?  Is it your joy, your happiness, the place you look forward to going every single day?  As a child of God this should be our greatest delight!

“I WILL delight myself in THY STATUTES: I WILL not forget THY WORD.”

Delight yourself in the Lord

As I take delight in the Lord and in His word, suddenly, my desires will become what He wants them to be.  The Psalmist said I WILL.  The choice is mine to make it a point every day to find joy and pleasure in the Word of God and what it teaches me.

The psalmist also says I WILL NOT FORGET.  Lord, help my delight to grow in you more and more each day.  As I look into the mirror of Your Word, may I not be a hearer only, then go away forgetting what I’ve learned, but instead help me to be a doer of Your Word, delighting in your commands.  May I be a delight to you as I delight in You.   May I trust in your mercy and grace each day to help me obey your commands and hide Your Word in my heart.
