Finding Joy in God’s Law: A Path to Spiritual Health

Blessed is the man who does not follow the path that leads to destruction, but rather, “…his delight is in the law of the LORD and in His Law, he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:2

Instead of pursuing a path of destruction as outlined in Psalm 1:1, man is blessed when he finds joy in obeying the Law of the LORD and thinks of it day and night. Not just reading but exercising the mind, resulting in a spiritually healthy and happy heart. Meditating on the Law of the LORD helps us develop a strong mental immune system which prepares us for the road ahead.

If our thoughts are invested in GOD’S Word and we are actively practicing it in our lives, how much time do we have for things that will lead us away from GOD? How much room do we have in our heart for evil and wickedness if we are filling it up with the Word of GOD?
