Because of my wifes busy schedule, sometimes she can commit only a limited amount of time every week to each of our grandchildren. When possible, however, she will rearrange her schedule to spend more time with themnot out of duty, but because she loves them. When I see her with them, I understand what the word delight means.
In Psalm 119, David tells of his delight in Gods Word. He uses the word delight eight times (vv.16,24, 35,47,70,77,92,174). He says: I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your Word. . . . I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love (vv.16,47). The psalmists words, I will delight, indicate that it is a deliberate act of his will. However, it is not a burden for him to delight in Gods Word because he loves it. Davids close relationship with God created in him a desire to know what his Beloved had to say.
In the same way, for us to move from duty to delight in Gods Word, we need to strengthen our relationship with Him. When we remember how much He loves and cherishes us, we will respond with love and we will delight to spend time with Him. Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day (v.97).
