Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. Psalm 112:1 [source]

Delight. Who doesn’t want it? Who isn’t on a quest to find it? 

Delight.
1. a high degree of pleasure or enjoyment; joy; rapture.
2. something that gives great pleasure.
3. to give delight to.
4. to have or take great pleasure [source]

Perhaps the word pleasure will help define delight. pleasure – a fundamental feeling that is hard to define but that people desire to experience [source]

We are all looking for it – delight, pleasure. All the media sources at our disposal attest to humanities quest for pleasure.

Yet the one place we are guaranteed to find it, society at large is not looking.

Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands.

Delight. Pleasure. Pleasures forevermore no less! Is found in obedience to the commands of THE LORD.

For our mediation and pleasure today :)
Until Next Time ~ ~ ~ Kathie 

A later posting than my usual and if as anticipated – short. 

²⁴ “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” [source] I Peter 2:24

My focus this morning: so that we might die to sins. Since He died. And it was a cruel death. A substitutionary death. Since He died so I COULD die to sins, why don’t I? At least more than I do?

⁷ Therefore, to keep me from becoming overly proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from the Adversary to pound away at me, so that I wouldn’t grow conceited. ⁸ Three times I begged the Lord to take this thing away from me; ⁹ but he told me, “My grace is enough for you, for my power is brought to perfection in weakness.” Therefore, I am very happy to boast about my weaknesses, in order that the Messiah’s power will rest upon me. ¹⁰ Yes, I am well pleased with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions and difficulties endured on behalf of the Messiah; for it is when I am weak that I am strong. [source]

Pound away at me, he said. Aren’t you looking forward to meeting Paul? I suspect I am older (or at least close) than he was when he penned these words but I am nowhere near close to the well pleased-ness he speaks of here. But there’s hope! :)

I hope your weekends are pleasant, restful, and filled with holy worship.
