It is an acknowledgment of his dependence on God, that he might be able to carry out the cherished purposes of his soul. For therein do I delight - See Psalms 119:16. I am conscious of having pleasure in thy commandments; of having a strong desire to keep them, and I pray for grace that I may be able to do it. Real delight in the law of God is one of the best means of securing its observance; one of the best evidences that it will be kept. return to 'Top of Page'
