I just love reading the book of Psalms. There is something about it I can’t get enough of. There is always brand new insights every time I read the first chapter.
The central point of this psalm is made in verse 2: “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.” The person who delights in God’s law so much that he meditates on it day and night is delivered from the ways of the wicked and sinners and scoffers, and is made fruitful and durable and prosperous. That’s the point. Delighting in the law of God is the central issue.
Now the point of the psalm is to say that when you experience the Word of God like that – as so delightful and so satisfying that it captures your mind and heart day and night and weans you away from the counsel and path and seat of the world -when you experience the Word like that, you are blessed. You are happy.
The Person Who Delights in the Word of God Then, in verse 3, it gives us three illustrations of that happiness. The first one is that the person who delights in the Word of God and meditates on it day and night will be “like a tree firmly planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in its season.” The second one is that the person who delights in the Word of God and meditates on it day and night will be like a tree whose “leaf does not wither.” And the third is that the person who delights in the Word of God and meditates on it day and night “will prosper in all that he does.”
Did the psalmists ever struggle with this? Yes they did. Take heart. We all do.
We struggle with Bible reading and memory and meditation because we don’t find pleasure in it. We have other things we want to get to more. TV or breakfast or work or newspaper or computer. Our hearts incline to other things and do not incline to the Word. And so it is not a delight. We must pray for God’s enabling to help us delight in his Word.
