Psalm 40:8 NASB "I delight to do Your will, my God; Your Law is within my heart.”He got the bike but what I got was a heart-filled with joy! Today's verse speaks about delighting in doing the Lord's Will! It was the last bike left over from our church raffle, and no one came to claim it. It sat in the church hallway for weeks until one little boy, came with his grandmother. They were there to get food from the food pantry but walked away with so much more. I asked his grandmother if he had a bike, her response was no and so I walked him down to it and gave it to him. The joy on that little boy's face was beyond anything you can imagine. He beamed as he walked the bike back to his grandmother. He may have gotten the bike, and I got the joy of watching him. Doing the right thing, the godly thing, will bring joy not only to those we serve but to ourselves as well. Look for opportunities to live Christ, they are out there, we just need to delight in doing them! peace, tom
