"his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers” Psalm 1:2-3.

It is insightful to ask, “what is on your mind?” Each of us are preoccupied with something, because our minds are ever active. Our primary mental preoccupation says much about who and what we are at the moment.

To delight in the law of God is to be preoccupied with our Creator, and all that is pleasing to Him. The pathway to true success in life is to ever mediate on our Father and His ways. According to the Psalmist, we will be well grounded, nourished, fruitful, and prosperous.

A key word here is the word, “delight.” We easily associate romance with delight. Especially when love is new, there is scarcely a moment when we do not think of the one we love. And so, the one who is grounded, nourished, fruitful, and prosperous is the one who delights in the law of the LORD. That law, incidentally, is not just the law found in the first five books of the Old Testament, but rather the general teachings and ways of our Father.

The challenging question is: do I delight as much in the ways and will of my Father as my greatest love in this world? Some honest introspection will likely yield a less-than-ideal response. We could love and delight more.

Let me be clear: I am far from the ideal of delighting in my Father and His teachings. But, it is healthy for there to be some concern and displeasure at a lack of full delight at what has been called “the sacred romance.” Compared to marriage, it is the couple that is concerned about their relationship that has hope of healing.

How do we foster delight in our Father and His ways? I cannot offer a simple answer, nor is there one. Fundamentally this is true: if we long to delight in Him, we are well on our way to doing so. It is the cold, indifferent individual who has much to be concerned about.

David serves us well as an example, this man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). His words will resonate with all who seek to delight in Him: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me” Psalm 51:10
