My delight!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

“Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments; for therein do I delight.” Psalm 119v35

  

There are many blessings that come to the person that follows the commandments of the Lord, even as we see in Psalm 112 which says “Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.” Psalm 112v1-10 (KJV). Psalm 1 also talks of the person who meditates on the law of God day and night as one that will be as a tree planted by the rivers of waters, who brings forth his fruit in his season. David knew that his happiness was found in walking in the commands of God, and so he asked God to direct, lead, make him walk along those paths. If David finds his happiness in following God’s commands, why then did he ask him to lead him in that path? Afterall, the law was available then for him to look at it and try to follow it. But perhaps, this lends to what Paul says of the struggle to want to do good, but ending up doing wrong. But we thank God for sending Jesus as a sacrifice for us, which ended sin’s control over us, and now  through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are freed from the power of sin. Hallelujah.   

Prayer

Father, I thank You so much for Your Word. Thank You for the salvation of our souls. Holy Spirit, I yield to Your power and control over my life in Jesus name, amen. Lord, make me to go in the path of Your commandments, for therein do I delight and find happiness. Give me a deep and reverential fear of the Lord, and have Your way over every area of my life in Jesus name, amen.
