What do we really delight in doing? I am sure that we delight in a number of things. The question is, 'Do we delight in reading and hearing The Word of God?' Most Christians would say that they do, but our actions speak louder than our words.
"But his delight is in the law of The Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night." Psalms 1:2
The first "... his ..." as in "... his delight ..." refers to the blessed man in verse one, "Blessed is the man ..." Psalms 1:1 One could ask is he blessed because he delights in and meditates on The Word of God or does he delight in and meditate on God's Word because he is blessed? Either way, as Christians, we should be like him.
We should enjoy, take pleasure in, and receive great satisfaction from reading the Bible. This verse suggests that the 'blessed man' reads and meditates, reflects on or ponders, God's Word at least twice each day, "... day and night." Do we think about and study the Bible twice each day?
We say that we love The Lord, but some of us only want to talk or hear about Him once a week. It has been said that some of us only open our Bibles on Sunday mornings, and maybe on Wednesday night for Bible study. That's only twice a week and not twice a day.
Let us commit to praying and reading our Bible twice each day, first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. I am sure that would please God, and pleasing God is a good thing to do. Who knows, we might be like the 'blessed man' "... whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalms 1:3
