My favorite line in this entire set of poems is, "Blessed is the man who
fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands" (Psalm 112:1).
Why is such a man to be emulated? Because out of reverence and worship
for God he seeks to grow in obedience to Him. Some of God's requirements
for us can seem arbitrary--and since we lack God's knowledge and
wisdom, some indeed are inscrutable--but we can rest assured that God
not only knows what's best for us but He knows how best to give it to us
(Psalm 111: 7,9, etc.).
Not simply obeying God's commands but actively delighting in them is a
high standard for all of us, but by grace an attainable one. Praise God!
