Psalm 112:1
Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands.
This blessed one does not fear God in a sense of misery and reluctant obligation. This psalm speaks of one who delights greatly in God’s commandments.
The man who duly fear God, is delivered from every other fear; the man who delights in God’s commandments, is freed from every inordinate desire of earthly things.
This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world (1 John 5:2-4).
Application
What are some scriptures which you feel burdensome, may be now or in the past? Pray through it.
