O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
I was thinking about the average Christian. How could it be remotely possible for them to meditate upon God’s Word all the day? For almost forty years, I have had the privilege of doing that. But would it be at all possible for those who are not full-time in the ministry?
If, in fact, the writer of this Psalm is David, then he wasn’t in full-time ministry. His days were occupied with matters of state and military and, for some portions of his life, just trying to survive. Still, the Word of God was his meditation all the day.
It occurred to me that it would be the one who said, “How can I possibly do that?” That couldn’t.
First, it’s not a matter of having to do it.
There is, I believe, no grace in meditating in the Bible because you have to.
Second, if you love God’s Word, it would be the natural
A man in love can do his daily business while, at the same time, having the object of his passion ever in his mind.
If we truly love the Word of God, meditating upon it is what we do. All the day, no matter what else may take our attention.
