8. I delight to do thy will, O my God. Our
blessed Lord alone could completely do the will of God. The law is too broad
for such poor creatures as we are to hope to fulfill it to the uttermost; but
Jesus not only did the Father’s will, but found a delight therein. No outward,
formal devotion was rendered by Christ; his heart was in his work, holiness was
his element, the Father’s will his meat and drink. We must each of us be like
our Lord in this, or we shall lack the evidence of being his disciples. Where
there is no heart work, no pleasure, no delight in God’s law, there can be no
acceptance.
