Psalms
104:34 KJV
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
Barnes has two points worth considering from this verse:
It is the
disposition of a true believer to meditate upon the Lord.
In other words, it is the natural thing for the believer
to do. It comes to him as naturally as does eating and drinking. One who has
the Spirit of the Lord in Him must by the Spirit be drawn into thoughts of the
Lord.
It is the pleasure of
the true believers to meditate upon the Lord.
He does not think of the Lord so much by constraint but by
desire. He isn't forced by the Spirit of God to meditate upon the Lord but he
is pleased to do so. Those meditations are not frightening to him, (though he
will tremble in the Lord) because he knows there is peace between him and his
God. He comes to the Lord to obtain mercy and find grace. He comes before Him
crying "Abba, Father".
The lost man may be made to think about the things of the
Lord, but he will neither find pleasure in the subject nor in the prospect of
meeting with Him.
