THE LAW OF THE LORD

In Psalm 1:2 God says of a blessed man that “. . . his delight is in the law of the LORD . . .”  How is the law of the Lord a delight?  All of us want to have an order a sequence or organization to our lives.  We don’t want things messy and confused; we want some sort of map.  God’s word is a map.  We appreciate standards:  a definition of what is right and what is wrong.  We may have some sort of nebulous sense of this but it’s best to have a well concrete, established and proven guide.  We are comforted to know the appropriate ways of health, building and restoration.  Moreover, as we read the Bible, we are glad that Daddy (as in our heavenly Father) talks to us .  Some of us did not have Fathers that provided active direction.  We are happy he is interested in us.  We are privileged that he shares with us the inside workings of the universe.
