Delight

What happens when you meditate on the Word of God?

The person who meditates on the Word finds themselves looking at Christ, seeing and then delighting in Him.

Psalm 29:9 - the voice of the Lord strips the forest bare

Isaiah 66:2 - this is the one to whom I look…

John 6:68 - to whom shall we go? You have the Words of Life

Hebrews 4:12 - the word pierces

Yes the Word pierces but it is pleasant in the end

 Meditate, listen, receive, respond, follow

And as we fill our lives with the Word, the Lord changes our Hearts

The cancer is cut out, the poison is removed, the sin is less attractive

Because Jesus becomes more attractive

Begins at the Cross

Everything pointed forward to it

Passover - a picture of salvation, foreshadowing Christ's sacrifice

For them it was a God who promised salvation

For us it is a God who provided salvation

New life begins at the Cross

Salvation - He died for us

Transformation - How do I change this? You died, your life, your desires/delights align with Christ

Colossinas 3:3: “Rid me of myself”

Meditate on the Word, take the Hit, find encouragement, see Jesus
