MEDITATION

Meditation is the life of most other duties. ---- Richard Baxter
 
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. Psalm 1:1-3.

MEDITATION


What is the reason there is so much preaching and so little practice? For want of meditation... Constant thoughts are operative, and musing makes the fire burn. Green wood is not kindled by a flash or spark, but by constant blowing. ---- Thomas Manton.
This Book of the Law shall  not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success (Joshua 1:8).
A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle,to the glory of God:  O Christ, Our Hope, Our Heart's Desire(Latin hymn, 7th. or 8th. century).

MEDITATION

There is one art of which every man should be a master ---- the art of reflection. If you are not a thinking man, to what purpose are you a man at all? Samuel Coleridge.
 
Blessed is the man....[whose] delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night (Psalm 1a, 2).  
 
A hymn to read, sing, hum or whistle to the glory of God: Blessed is the Man (MIchael Boughan, 1969).

Meditation


Good morning!

By meditation I can converse with God, solace myself on the bosom of the Saviour, bathe myself in the rivers of divine pleasure, tread the paths of my rest, and view the mansions of eternity. ---- Anonymous.

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful(Joshua 1:8). 

A hymn to read, sing, whistle or hum to the glory of God: YOUR WORD IS LIKE A GARDEN LORD


Thy Word is like a garden, Lord, with flowers bright and fair;
And every one who seeks may pluck a lovely cluster there.
Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine; and jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths for every searcher there.

Meditation

Good morning!

MEDITATION.  Meditation is to Bible knowledge what digestion is to food ---- the way to get life out of it. pgs. 

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in it season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does he prospers (Psalm 1:1-3). 

A hymn to be read or sung or hummed to the glory of God: BREAK THOU THE BREAD OF LIFE.
