I delight in the law of God, in my inner being. - Romans 7:22
Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. - Psalm 119:97
Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart… - Jeremiah 15:16
I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food. - Job 23:12
I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart. - Psalm 40:8
My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. - John 4:34
The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; more to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. - Psalm 19:8,10
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. - James 1:22-25
