A Remarkable Proof of Inspiration

Psalm 119:35 reads: “Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it.”  There is something very remarkable here.  David prays that God will make him do what he delights in.  We usually do not need someone to force us to do what we love to do.  Delighting in something is motive enough to inspire hard effort.  What we love to do should be easy to do.  To me, this verse in Psalm 119 is one of the most practical proofs of the divine inspiration of the Bible.  It teaches exactly what the apostle Paul taught 1,000 years later in Romans 7:18: that he desires to do what God commands, and yet does not have the power to do so.  David said the same thing.  The desire to obey God is not enough.  We need the power of the Holy Spirit.  Remarkable!
