Oh…so very much meat in today’s reading!

Blessed is the man whose “…delight is in the law of the Lord…”
The “law of the Lord’ means all Scripture. The more we know of the whole scope of God’s Word, the more resources we will have to guide our daily lives.

“He is like a tree planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in season…”
Just as a tree soaks up water and produces luscious fruit, if we soak up God’s Word we’ll bear fruit. The more we soak up His Word, the more fruitful we will be.

“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’”
We should all be careful taking Scripture out of context!

“They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.”
Ponce de Leon searched for the “fountain of youth”. God offers the "fountain of life"!

“Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
To delight in someone means to take great pleasure in their presence. This happens only when we know that person well. To delight in the Lord means we must know Him well.

As we begin to know Him well, we will know what He desires for us and then His desires become our desires. What a great plan!

But even better than that…“If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm;”
As we delight in the Lord, know that He delights in us. That means He takes great pleasure in our presence! Wow! Ponder that today!
