Delighting In The Word

Delighting In The Word



Where is it written?
Read Psalm 119:33-40
For every verse, what is the request and what is the benefit? (Make a chart.)
How would you describe the Psalmist’s feelings about God’s Word?

Deep Study - Delight
Read 2 Samuel 22:20, Psalm 37:4 &; 23; Psalm 111:2; Psalm 119: 16, 24, 35, 47, 70, 74, 77, & 143; Proverbs 3:13; Proverbs 23:26; 1 Corinthians 13:6 & John 3:19 (love).

What do these passages teach us about the role of delight in our lives? How are we shaped by our delights?

How goes your walk?
What does our culture delight in most?
How is this different than what God tells us to delight in?
How would you describe your feelings about the Bible right now? How do you want to feel about the Bible?
What is your greatest delight?
What do you want to have as your greatest delight?

Bible Reading Ideas:
Make it your goal to spend a length of time in the Bible rather than the quantity of reading. I.e. 10 minutes rather that one chapter. Set a timer if helpful.
Get to know a few key passages well. Marinate in them. Memorize sections of scripture.
Start in the Gospels. (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John)
