Psalms 1:2 (NIVUS)
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Pleasure is the pursuit of many people. Whatever makes them feel good is what they seek. Often it does not matter if their pursuit hurts someone else. If it "feels good", they "do it".

There is a pursuit that is honorable and good. You should seek Jehovah the Lord, His direction, and instruction. As the laws of the land provide boundaries to keep you safe, so also the Law of the Lord gives you boundaries for every area of your life to keep you safe, happy, peaceful, and secure. So as you seek to know Him and His law, you will find pleasure and delight. God's word will become your desire and longing.

It is important that you meditate and muse over the word of the Almighty. Murmur and whisper His word to yourself day and night. You will receive guidance and instruction from the law of God hidden in your heart and spoken from your mouth. By doing this, your faith will grow and you will have the power to do all that God has called you to do. In this you will find great pleasure and delight
