YOUR DELIGHT


TEXT: Psalm 1:2. 

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

I know you are very familiar with Psalms chapter one verse 1 -  *Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,   nor stand on the path of sinners,  nor sit in the seat of scoffers;* Psalms 1:1. Everyone wants the blessings in this verse. Well, the blessings will flow naturally once the conditions in the verse are fulfilled.

As verse one is filled with what the man ought not to do - 

**Do not walk in the counsel of the wicked.

**Do not stand in the path of the sinners and 

**Do not sit in the seat of the scornful.

Verse two is filled with what you ought to do:

1.) *Delight in His law.* : To delight is to have great joy and pleasure in something or someone. So to delight in the law of the Lord is to take pleasure in God's instructions. 

Anyone who is not delighting in the law of the Lord will not be able to fulfill the conditions in verse one. You must intentionally see to it that you treasure God's law in your heart. Your success is directly tied to this 

Joshua 1:8 says, *This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.* 

This leads us to the next thing you ought to do.

2.) *Meditate day and night.* The word of God can easily slip out of your heart if you don't commit yourself to it. At times, ask yourself if you still remembered what you read from God's words yesterday.

Meditation is for serious minded people. Whatever you don't meditate on can't really be part of you. The book of Joshua says you should meditate day and night, the book of Psalms says the same thing too. You are to meditate on His words (instructions) day and night.

The blessings of God will naturally flow your way when you focus on obeying His instructions. DELIGHT YOURSELF IN HIS LAWS.

BIBLE READING:

Psalms 1:1-6.


PRAYER FOCUS


Father God, I receive the grace to always delight myself in your laws.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
