Dec 5 - Ps 119 - Take Delight in the Word

This will be a short entry today - but a challenging one. In Psalms 119:16, the psalmist says “I delight in your decrees.” I know that I should follow the Word of the Lord. I know I should seek and learn His ways so that I may walk rightly. But do I delight in His word and His instruction? Delight means something that gives a high degree of pleasure or enjoyment; joy; rapture. Is this my response to God’s word? Or is my reaction more a sense of duty, a knowing it is good for me like medicine. Lord, my prayer today is that you help me by your Spirit to find delight in your decrees.
