delight

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.

The question is often asked, "What do we have to be excited about?" And the answer is quite simple: When we are wise, we learn to delight in God's law and His word. We meditate on it often and it gives us a firm foundation which in due time will reap its own rewards in our soul. Make no mistake, the externals of how we worship, the programs we create, and the way we present ourselves cannot take the place of love for God, love for people, and love of His laws.
