July 25 :: Psalms 37-39; Acts 26

Acts 26: 4-8

Paul defending himself in the court in front of King Agrippa...

"The Jews all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem. They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee. And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our fathers that I am on trial today. This is the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night. O king, it is because of this hope that the Jews are accusing me. Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?"

  1. Psalm 37:3-4

    3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;
    dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
    4 Delight yourself in the LORD,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

    What does it mean to delight yourself in God?

  2. I suppose to delight in something means to take great joy from it - so in essence, I suppose it means to ENJOY God and all the things He brings - the most basic of which make me think of salvation and life in Him! What do you think?
