Joyful Obedience

“The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.”

When the Spirit of the Lord abides with us and we surrender our own understanding and embrace the mind of Christ, this is what is available to us, as well!
What does “delighting in the fear of the Lord” look like? I think it looks and sounds and feels like joyful obedience…..

“….free us for joyful obedience through Jesus Christ our Lord..”
