Job 29:12-17

29:12 for I rescued the poor who cried out for help,

and the orphan who had no one to assist him;

29:13 the blessing of the dying man descended on me,

and I made the widow’s heart rejoice;

29:14 I put on righteousness and it clothed me,

my just dealing was like a robe and a turban;

29:15 I was eyes for the blind

and feet for the lame;

29:16 I was a father to the needy,

and I investigated the case of the person I did not know;

29:17 I broke the fangs of the wicked,

and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

Psalms 40:8

40:8 I want to do what pleases you, my God.

Your law dominates my thoughts.”

Psalm 112

112:1 Praise the Lord!

How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord,

who takes great delight in keeping his commands.

119:16 I find delight in your statutes;

I do not forget your instructions.

119:92 If I had not found encouragement in your law,

I would have died in my sorrow.

Enjoy Life in the Present

3:12 I have concluded that there is nothing better for people

than to be happy and to enjoy

themselves as long as they live,

64:5 You assist those who delight in doing what is right,

who observe your commandments.

Look, you were angry because we violated them continually.

How then can we be saved?

4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to complete his work.

7:22 For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.
