Bible Commentary

Psalms 1:2

Delight means more than obedience — it means loving the Bible the way you love something wonderful. Meditating is like chewing — taking time to really savour and understand what God says.

Memory phrase: I love and think about God's Word.

Talk about it: What does it mean to 'delight' in something? What is something you truly delight in?

Prayer: God, make me love Your Word the way I love my favourite thing. Help me think about it day and night.
