Psalm 1: 2: "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night." The delight of God’s man is in the law of the Lord. In other words, he finds joy in the Word of God. I wish I could get the message over to people that the Bible is a thrilling Book. It’s not a burden; it’s not boring. It is a real delight to read and study the Word of God. Blessed is the man—happy is the man—whose delight is in the law of the Lord. Today the tragedy that has come to man—the tear, the sigh, the groaning, the heartache, the heartbreak, the broken homes, the violence, school shootings, the ruined and wrecked lives—are the result of God’s broken laws. The Word of God makes it very clear. “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous”. His commandments for believers today are not only the Ten Commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. I remember being in the third grade when all of a sudden we stopped having Bible reading and prayer in our public school. We didn't know that the Supreme Court had ruled that to have such practices were unconstitutional. We didn't have any mass shootings back then. In Biblical apologetics, we learned the phrase, "So, how is that working out for you?" For all the people that wanted prayer and Bible reading removed from our schools, "So, how is that working out?"
