"I delight to do Your will, O my God . . . "
David had penned these words (above) in reference to himself. The Holy Spirit applied them to Christ, (in Heb. 10:7). When we can do the will of the Lord *with delight*, then we are in a good situation. We never do anything well grudgingly, or under compulsion. But, when we do anything with pleasure, we perform the task with alacrity and ease.
Let us make it our chief delight to take our highest pleasure in Christ. When He is first, all other (good and legitimate) delights--from beer to baseball (for instance)--may be enjoyed with relish and grace.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Grace makes a man terrifying to the devil and to wicked men, both grace in a man, and grace in the church."
--Richard Sibbes, in "Glorious Freedom"]
