Psalms 1:2 KJV
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
My focus today is on the word delight. Strong's Concordance says it means "pleasure, value, desire." How we have gotten ourselves turned around in our day. We find our pleasure, our values and our desires in all of the wrong things.
God's word should be our pleasure
I want to enjoy God's Word.
I want to enjoy reading God's Word
I want to enjoy hearing God's Word preached
I want to enjoy preaching God's Word
I want to enjoy studying the delicacies of God's Word
The Word of God is pleasing when a person takes the time to get to know it well, to dive in a little and get past just a ritualistic reading. I want to find my pleasure in God's Word
God's Word should be what we value
We place value on some of the most temporary things; cars, clothing, electronics, and etc.
We can become greatly agitated if any of these is either missing or broken in our lives.Yet the Bible ought to be what we value the most. And not just owning one either.
We ought to value the message of God's Word
We ought to value the impact of God's Word in our lives
We ought to value the influence God's Word can have on our families
God's Word should be our desireWe must come to the place in our spiritual walk where having time in God's Word is a priority for us. It must become something we can not and will not do without daily. To spend time in the Word of God is more necessary than daily food. We must then crave it and make the provision for it as we would our daily food.
