Psalm 40:8
Psalm 40:8
I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.
Delighting in God’s will is a beautiful expression of trust and devotion. When His law is inscribed within our hearts, obedience becomes a joy rather than a burden. This inner transformation reflects a heart that has fully surrendered to God, prioritizing His desires above all else. Living out His will means that we are not merely following rules, but embracing a way of life that brings peace, purpose, and fulfillment. God’s law within us guides our thoughts and actions, shaping us to reflect His character. In a world full of distractions, holding God’s law close keeps us grounded in truth and enables us to find true joy in aligning with His purpose. This deep-rooted love for God’s will strengthens us, making us resilient and steadfast in faith, even in difficult times. Such devotion not only pleases God but also fills us with a profound sense of joy and contentment, knowing that our lives are in harmony with His perfect will.
Luke 8:21
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1 Peter 1:14
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1 Peter 3:1
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives.
