Psalms 1
Devotional:
But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. (Psalm 1:2).
What do you delight in? We can take delight in many things, from a well-executed play on the football field to a well-planned party. Psalm 1 tells us that the righteous person does not delight in the advice of the wicked, in the pathway of sinners, or in sitting with scoffers. Instead, he or she delights in God’s Word and meditates on that word day and night. Delight in skill on the athletic field or a wonderful event is short-lived, but when you spend time with the Lord, when His Word is planted in you, the living water of Christ will flow into your life and prepare you to stand strong in the changes and challenges of life. Today take delight in God’s Word by picking one of your favorite verses from the Bible and memorizing it.

Pray it:
Father, thank you for the gift of your Word. Help me to delight in it more by listening to it and placing it above the voices and thoughts of others – including my very own. Watch over my way and lead me in righteous paths. Amen.
