Blessed in the one…who meditates on his law day and night (Psalm 1).
Meditate. More than simply to read, but to think about, to roll around in your mind, to fit the words to yourself.
Day and Night. Much more than a glance, more than a morning dose of fortifying vitamin, but enjoying unhurried time, lounging in the scriptures.
Delighting in the law of God takes time and intentionality, and yields fantastic dividends. The prosperity mentioned in Psalm 1 is in our hands – if we give attention to the words in this book.
Super convicting.
I meditate on my news feed, especially politics and sports (go Chiefs!). I think about work. I give attention to social media (which brings no prosperity and rarely delight). I scan streaming services for entertainment. I read novels. Then I go to bed.
Nothing wrong with any of those (except perhaps social media). But prosperity, there for our taking, comes from delighting in God’s law.
