Delight; great pleasure, enjoyment, joy......
Romans 7:22 Paul said, "For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man"
What is the law, it is God's rules, His Word.
I was once alive without the law : a time when I was complacent, insensitive to what God was saying, what God wanted or what God needed from me. I was insensitive to the demands of the law, God's Word I was insensitive to God Himself. I died...Once I realized that I was accursed, guilty, and marked for death...I cried to the Lord and He heard my plea. The law had revealed the power of sin.
The law is holy....it is just and it is good...it is filled with Truth and love along with blessings and wisdom..Grace speaks and mercy rules...the law reveals sin and shows us how we are helplessly under the control of sin, sometimes hopeless, yet the law (the word) points us into the direction of Christ who can and will help us.
The law is spiritual....The law has the characteristics of the Spirit and is consistent with the character of God. We are carnal and all about the flesh...
Law of the mind....the inward man, who we are what we think....allowing the Holy Spirit to give us a new mind...it is the renewing of the mind to obedience and good works. The law of the mind is a mindset to allow the influence of the Holy Spirit to come in and change everything about me.
Law of sin....The law God's word allows sin to become alive...an active force...law of sin is death...
Unless His law becomes our delight we perish inside a situation or circumstance..It leaves us in a place where we have to crawl out of the hole that becomes endless in our minds. To be able to just continue in joy, for the joy of the Lord is our Strength. Joy is a state of mind a set mind to believe that all things work for the glory of God to those who believe and obey His word. Constant joy, which is not the same as happy...happy is a feeling marked by pleasure or satisfaction , joy is a lifestyle of Trust in His word...knowing you are...sure...safe...and secure...it is intense, it is ecstatic it is joy unspeakable and full of glory.
Joy comes from believing His word. It is the result of knowing, honoring and obeying. It is giving God glory for all things good and bad. Joy is confident trust that Jesus died was buried and rose from the dead to save me and you. Joy is knowing He paid the price and the victory is won, that death was overcome and we are able to stand before Him in the presence of holiness to worship and honor Him in all things...Joy is knowing that when He returns He knows my name.
So, why is it so hard to stand on His promises, why is it so hard to believe that all the circumstances surrounding me are placed there by Him to make me better, He has spoken and it is finished....all the while our minds are screaming our choice of escape yet we can not and will not achieve it according to His word because Satan is a roaring lion seeking all whom he can and will devour. Physically, spiritually, mentally devoured by Satan's lies...Anxiety and Fear which leads to blindness and deafness to what the Spirit is saying. Strongholds in high places that rip apart and place death in front of us...Yet HIS word is alive...
God says: lean on Me, hide in Me, hear my voice, seek, hope, know Me, follow Me and obey Me. God has placed His grace in front of us to accept or deny. God has redeemed me and bought us with a price... to glorify Him...so He can shine forth and all can see Him in this dark place we call "home". His word is hope, hope to a dying and lost world. Hope to His holy people who know who He is. His word is life and healing, sprinkled with grace and mercy so his lovingkindness can shine through. His word is Peace. A Peace that passes all understanding...
He said I am sending my Spirit back to you so you can have life and life abundantly...what is your delight?
John 5:30
Amplified Bible (AMP)
30I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord--but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [i decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [i have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.
