I delight

For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so.

I have not departed from the commands of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth
more than my daily food.

Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.

The precepts of the Lord are right,
making the heart glad;
the command of the Lord is radiant,
making the eyes light up.

I delight to do Your will, my God;
Your instruction lives within me.”

I will delight in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.

Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
the people in whose heart is My instruction:
do not fear disgrace by men,
and do not be shattered by their taunts.

“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work,”

Jesus told them.

But this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws into their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be My people.

to keeping Your statutes!
