Psalm chapter 1 verses 1 and 2.

Blessed is the man who walks not on 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.

Oh, I would encourage you to memorize these opening verses of the book of Psalms, to memorize

them and to meditate on them, to do what this verse is saying to do, verse two, to delight in the law of the

Lord and on his law to meditate day and night.

The picture is God's blessing on the man on the woman who is so fixed on his word on his law

on his truth his instructions revealed to us, his revelation of himself, so fixed

on God's word that we are thinking about it when we wake up in the morning when to go to bed at night

and the implication is all throughout the day like continually meditating on God's

word because we delight in it because it's like Psalm 19 describes and

Psalm 119 describes it's like food for our souls it's our feast on a daily basis. We don't live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God, just as we delight in food, actually more than we delight in food. We delight in God's word.

It is good. It is a treasure to be cherished. It is a guide for our life. It is nourishment to our soul. It is a gift of God's

grace that we need more than daily bread, more important than breakfast today,

more important than lunch today, more important than dinner today, is delighting in, feasting on, meditating on the word of God.

Is this the way, is this the way you view God's word in your life? And if it's not, I just want to

encourage you to pray for this kind of delight in the law of the Lord. Ask the Lord for this and pray this and then

think through okay how can I meditate on this word day and night. How can I make sure at the beginning of my day to

fill my mind with God's word at the end of the day to fill my mind with God's word in a way that saturates the whole course of my day

with God's word. I guarantee you that if you are intentional about meditating fixing your mind your heart on God's word in the beginning of your day at the end of your day and thinking through okay how can that saturate your life during the day I guarantee you you will

see discover experience this word as delightful full of delight. I just encourage you, I challenge you, I promise you, you spend time
