Divine Offices | Thoughts

As I read Psalm 1 this morning, I was struck by the notion of delighting in the Law. We, as Christians, have a distorted view of the Law (Torah/Instruction) and often toss it out the window because we think it's "old", or "useless" at best. I think the root of this comes from a lot of Paul's writing about the law, but we misunderstand him. When Paul talks about law, he is talking about the Jewish people's perversion of Torah into a religious code, rather than a living address of God to his people. So, how can we take delight in the Law? How can we see grace in the Law - it's there!
