Psalms 01:02 – But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. The objects for delight and true happiness that this world provides seem like soap bubbles. They are short-lived and imminently disappear. They come with false hope and are momentary. It fills human life with a series of false hope and a procession of frustrations and grief. But God offers man a permanent source of delight and blessedness which is in the Word of the Lord. It is written to portray the source of true happiness which is the Person of Jesus who came to this world as Word incarnate. He took all the grief and pain of man and nailed it to the Cross with Him. His life has offered man a new life of true blessedness as a free gift. It is available for the asking to those who receive it willingly. He is the living Word and in Him we can find true source of contentment and delight. His Word is never-changing and is eternally permanent. It comforts, strengthens, encourages, corrects, rebukes and instructs us in the true pathway that He wants us to tread in which He walks with us. There is a thrill in walking with Him to the edges of His ways. He wants us to seek His mind in His Word which turns our weeping into joy unspeakable and our tears into praise. As night falls, when all the earthly sources of happiness shut their doors, the Lord and His Word can still be enjoyed because of its timelessness. His Word is powerful because all the power of God Almighty is embodied in it through His Spirit. Each word in the Word is powered with the power of God. There are specific reasons why each word is used in its grammar, tense and usage so that it can cause us to rejoice in a crooked world which denies us the privilege to be happy.

It gives you directions and counseling to keep going when you reach confusing intersections in life. The Word has the power to transform your life so much so that you will interpret your situations from the eternal perspective rather than the temporal.

Today God’s word challenges you to delight in the Word day and night so that it will give you strength to keep going in spite of your difficult circumstances. Situational happiness will disappear when situations change, but the happiness that God provides will linger in spite of situations.
