Bible Question:
PSALM 37:4 HOW CAN I BEST DESCRIBE THE WORD WORD" DELIGHT"YOURSELF?THANKS |
Bible Answer: Hi, Charlotte; I think I would say "holy happiness" - happiness that comes not from the world and its pleasures and wickedness but from the joy of God's grace. More specific to this context, Psalms 1 (1-3)and 119 (69-71, 76-78, 91-93, 173-175) talk about delighting in the law. Taken as a whole, these passages convey the idea that the law provides access to God's love, providence, protection, and salvation. So I think it would be safe to say that "delight" means to find satisfaction or joy in these things. Hope this helps. Peace and grace, Steve |
