Enjoy the Word
In Psalm 1:1-6, there’s a picture of those who follow God’s word, and those who don’t. I can imagine a tree by the river, where it’s constantly have access to unlimited water and nourishment. The tree, in turn, bears many fruit and productive.
Then, the other picture is a piece of straw lying on the ground. When the wind comes, it gets blown away – carried away to some unknown place and gets lost.
The same picture is for me when I don’t read the word. The same fate will happen if I don’t obey the word and laws of God. His word is a guide. His word is light for my life. It’s limitless for my daily life. It’s like a river that nourishes, so I may become fruitful and multiply. How can I not delight in that? I want that every day!
My declaration today to God will be:
I enjoy pleasing you. Your Law is in my heart.
Psalm 40:8
