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.
