Delight in the Law of the Lord

I was reading ps. 1 a couple nights ago. When describing a righteous person it said that "his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law he meditates day and night."

Moral choices for the agnostic or athiest are quite complicated. You have to look at what people are doing and saying. Decide if their decisions have merit and then come up with a good plan of your own on how to live.

For the believer in the scripture it is so much easier. God says it, I believe it, That settles it. My choices, though still complicated, are pretty straight forward.

Would God be delighted in my decision? If yes, do it, if no don't. Pretty simple huh?

I saw a quote once that impacted me so much I put it up in my office. John Brown said "Think at God thinks, act as God acts".

I am motived to obey God, partly just because it is the right thing to do. But more importantly if I trust God that his desires for me come from a loving heart. Why would I want to do anything other than his will. He knows me better than I know myself, understanding what will bring me the best life possible. Proverbs says that anything else is simply foolishness.
