Meditating on Scripture is a great way to get His truth embedded in our hearts. The Strong’s definition for meditates means to reflect; to ponder; to contemplate something as one repeats the words.

In the Hebrew thought, to meditate upon the Scriptures is to quietly repeat them, while utterly abandoning outside distractions. Ah distractions: there is a lure that the enemy of our soul uses to pull us off course.

I love Psalm 119. It is all about His word. In June of 2023 I meditated through the whole psalm. It was a delightful and refreshing experience. Verse 15 says, “I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways.”

Verse 23 says, “Princes also sit and speak against me, but Your servant meditates on Your statutes.” Reviled? Slip right back into meditating.

Verse 27 says, “Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.” Think of just one of His wonderful works, and gratitude will immediately well up in your heart.

Verse 146 says, “My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word.”
