Psalm 40:8 I delight to do your will, O my God, And your law is within my heart.

This is a simple verse, yet in these stressful times, even the simple things can seem hard if we lose our focus. When I first typed this verse I typed, O God, I left out the important MY. He is MY God, MY daddy. He is bigger than anything going on in my life or your life. Our Abba Father desires us to delight in doing His will. We should actually have JOY in being obedient. He summed it up in two simple things, we are to love him and others.

Sometimes we have the greatest problems in loving those closest to us, our spouses, members of our church, and our family. God calls us to use our faith and step out by loving the ones who have hurt us the most.

If we are to obey him in delight, we have to have the paradigm that He will keep us safe. He will show us how to love, using healthy boundaries and Godly wisdom. Our part is to put His law in our hearts continually and follow the Holy Spirit's leading.
