What do you delight in?


Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalm 1:1-2


Have you ever sat down to read the Bible just because you felt like you were supposed to, and nothing more? Ever felt guilty when church begins because you realized you haven't opened your bible since the last service? If so consider this question.... would you want people to hang out with you because they felt obligated ? or because they felt guilty if they didn't? Wouldn't you rather them do it because they think you're amazing and wise? OK, so maybe the last part is a stretch..... But one thing should be clear, God intends for us to read the bible because we delight in Him, because we understand that it is TRUTH and results in our good and His glory! If delight is your motivation then you won't have to be reminded or prodded into doing devotions by your goofy youth pastor..... I guess the question is this? If you don't delight in reading and thinking about what the bible says........ then what is it that delights you?
