DELIGHT IN THE WORD


Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, 
nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 
but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law 
he meditates day and night.
PSALMS 1:1-2


The law of Thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces (Ps 119:72). In the way of Thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches (Ps 119:14). Thy testimonies are my delight, they are my counselors (Ps 119:24). Thy testimonies are my heritage for ever; yea, they are the joy of my heart (Ps 119:111).

How sweet are Thy words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Ps 119:103). With open mouth I pant, because I long for Thy commandments (Ps 119:131). Let Your compassion come to me  that I may live, for Your law is my delight (Ps 119:77).

I take delight in the law of God, in my inner self, but I see in my members another principle at war with the law of my mind, taking me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. - Romans 7:22-23

The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. - Acts 13:48
