Delight

  • Mood: Good
  • Music: Big Band Love Songs
  • Verse: Ps 119:70 "Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in Thy Law."

Here are the answers to the questions I posted the other day.

1. Where do we find this Law/Torah? It is found in the 1st Five books of the Holy Scriptures.

2. What is this Law/Torah?  It is God's Commands on how to live a Holy Life.

3. What does this Law/Torah say?  To love God with all your body, mind, soul and strength and your neighbor as yourself.

4. Do we meditate on this Law/Torah? We should if we don't. To think about what God has to say about living a Holy Life is found there.  Abraham obeyed God's Law.

Gen. 26:5

Because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws.  KJV

Ps 119:77

77 Let Thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for Thy Law is my delight.   KJV

OT:8191
sha` shua` (shah-shoo'-ah); from OT:8173; enjoyment: 
KJV - delight, pleasure.

I found this interesting that the word for "Delight" in Hebrew is very close to Jesus name in Hebrew Yeshua.  Be it spelt, like this: OT:3468
yesha` (yeh'-shah); or yesha` (yay'-shah); from OT:3467; liberty, deliverance, prosperity: 
KJV - safety, salvation, saving.
(Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

Or like this: OT:3444   yeshuw` ah (yesh-oo'-aw); feminine passive participle of OT:3467; something saved, i.e. (abstractly) deliverance; hence, aid, victory, prosperity:  KJV - deliverance, health, help (-ing), salvation, save, saving (health), welfare.
(Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright (c) 1994, Biblesoft and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

Sho'shua and Ye'shua sound so alike .  It seems that we are to Delight in Yeshua and His Law/Torah.

More on Delight in my next posting.  Delight has several Hebrew words, I will post them as well. 

Shalom
