DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37: 3-4)

I increasingly perceive that delight is - at least for me - a precondition of trust.

Too often I have approached God with a sense of obligation, responsibility, or guilt. This attitude has separated me from a full relationship with God.

The psalmist teaches I should 'anag - be happy about, make merry over, even jest with God.
