His delight shall be in the law of the Lord

“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” - Psalms 1v2


The book of Psalms opens with a psalm that clearly contrasts the godly and the ungodly man. It ends with a depiction of how their lives will result – “The Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

The key difference between the two is seen in verse two. The righteous man delights in the law of God and he meditates on it day and night. The man who delights in God’s word and constantly considers it will flourish and be like a tree at the riverside.

If we ever hope to have any kind of success spiritually we must learn to delight in the law of the Lord. We must spend time in it and keep our thoughts focused on it day and night.

God’s word is more that just a church day option – it is a daily necessity.
