DELIGHTING IN THE LAW OF THE LORD
Presented by Minister Lisa Kane
Published on 6.29.25
OBJECTIVE:
To encourage believers to discover true happiness and transformation by delighting in the Word of God, meditating on it day and night, and walking in His counsel rather than in the ways of the ungodly. The teaching aims to show that joy, peace, and prosperity flow from spending time in God’s presence, receiving His truth, and allowing the Holy Spirit to change hearts and minds.
SYNOPSIS:
This teaching, rooted in Psalm 1:1–2, explores the blessings of delighting in the law of the Lord. Lisa Kane begins with prayer, emphasizing the power of God’s Word to transform lives. She explains that “blessed” means happy, and happiness comes from refusing ungodly counsel, avoiding the path of sinners, and not sitting with the scornful. Instead, believers are to seek counsel from the Bible and godly people, entering the secret place with the Lord for strength and renewal.
Through examples such as Paul and Silas worshipping in prison, she illustrates how joy can be present even in suffering when one abides in God’s Word. The teaching highlights the importance of meditation—keeping Scripture in thought day and night—as a way to cultivate peace, forgiveness, and fruitfulness. Like a tree planted by rivers of water, the believer prospers when rooted in God’s Word, bearing spiritual fruit and reflecting God’s love to others.
Kane contrasts the righteous with the ungodly, who are unstable and carried away by worldly trends. She reminds listeners of God’s ultimate judgment, stressing the need for repentance and intercessory prayer for the lost. Finally, she exhorts believers to prioritize time with God, to let His Word shape desires, and to walk in the joy and prosperity that come from seeking Him first.
The message closes with a prayer of thanksgiving for God’s transforming presence, urging believers to continue delighting in His law so that His love, peace, and power overflow in their lives.
